1. The problem asks to simplify the expression $\left(9^{\frac{1}{4}}\right)^{\frac{7}{2}}$ using the power of a power property.
2. The power of a power property states that $\left(a^m\right)^n = a^{m \times n}$.
3. Applying this property, we multiply the exponents:
$$\left(9^{\frac{1}{4}}\right)^{\frac{7}{2}} = 9^{\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{7}{2}}$$
4. Multiply the exponents:
$$\frac{1}{4} \times \frac{7}{2} = \frac{7}{8}$$
5. So the expression simplifies to:
$$9^{\frac{7}{8}}$$
6. Since $9 = 3^2$, rewrite the base:
$$9^{\frac{7}{8}} = \left(3^2\right)^{\frac{7}{8}}$$
7. Apply the power of a power property again:
$$\left(3^2\right)^{\frac{7}{8}} = 3^{2 \times \frac{7}{8}} = 3^{\frac{14}{8}}$$
8. Simplify the exponent fraction:
$$\frac{14}{8} = \frac{7}{4}$$
9. Final simplified expression:
$$3^{\frac{7}{4}}$$
Therefore, the simplified form of $\left(9^{\frac{1}{4}}\right)^{\frac{7}{2}}$ is $3^{\frac{7}{4}}$.
