This does not appear to equal one. Assuming that the exponents are
intended to be rational and that the parentheses are balanced as
follows

expr = ((9 (3)^(1/2) + 4 (23)^(1/2))^(1/3) +
    (9 (3)^(1/2) + 4 (23)^(1/2))^(1/3))/(3)^(1/2)

(2*(9*Sqrt[3] + 4*Sqrt[23])^(1/3))/
   Sqrt[3]

expr // FullSimplify

1 + Sqrt[23/3]

expr // N

3.76887
