Question
### Integral Evaluation Challenge

Evaluate the definite integral:

\[
\int_{0}^{a^{2/9}} x^8 \sqrt[9]{x^9 + a^2} \, dx \quad (a > 0)
\]

### Solution Attempt

The solution provided in the image is 

\[
\frac{20^3}{27} \left( 2 \left( \frac{3}{2} \right) - 1 \right)
\]

The red cross indicates that this solution is incorrect.

### Explanation

- The problem involves finding the definite integral of the function \( x^8 \sqrt[9]{x^9 + a^2} \) from 0 to \( a^{2/9} \).
- The variable \( a \) is a positive real number, as indicated by \( a > 0 \).

### Note

This integral requires careful integration techniques, possibly involving substitutions or transformations, to be correctly evaluated. The incorrect solution suggests a mathematical mistake was made in the integration process.
