![### 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.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fb5fd1a13-e3f9-4c89-ae95-484e658b4a41%2F9185ac73-a951-48da-8f5e-e2ee9345d777%2Figtat_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
