2(x+8)^3/4=8     divide both sides by 2

 

(x + 8)^(3/4)  = 4     raise both sides to the 4th power

 

(x + 8)^3  = 4^4

 

(x + 8)^3  = 256  take the cube root of both sides

 

x + 8  = 4*cuberoot(4)    subtract 8 from both sides

 

x = 4*cuberoot(4) - 8  = 

 

4*[ cuberoot(4) - 2]  =

 

4*[ 2^(2/3) - 2 ]

First divide both sides by 2, then you have    (x+8)^3/4 = 4

Raise both sides to the 4/3 power

((x+8)^3/4)^4/3   =  4^4/3

x+8 = 6.3496

x= - 1.650395

Solve for x: 1/2 (x+8)^3 = 8 Multiply both sides by 2: (x+8)^3 = 16 Taking cube roots gives 2 2^(1/3) times the third roots of unity: x+8 = -2 (-2)^(1/3) or x+8 = 2 2^(1/3) or x+8 = 2 (-1)^(2/3) 2^(1/3) Subtract 8 from both sides: x = -8-2 (-2)^(1/3) or x+8 = 2 2^(1/3) or x+8 = 2 (-1)^(2/3) 2^(1/3) Subtract 8 from both sides: x = -8-2 (-2)^(1/3) or x = 2 2^(1/3)-8 or x+8 = 2 (-1)^(2/3) 2^(1/3) Subtract 8 from both sides: Answer: | | x = -8-2 (-2)^(1/3)      or x = 2 2^(1/3)-8      or x = 2 (-1)^(2/3) 2^(1/3)-8
