The answer should be 2^2n and 1/(2^2n)
OpenStudy (experimentx):
let, x^3 = u
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (experimentx):
x^-3 = 1/u and solve quadratic equation

It is not cube it is x^(3/2n)

oh .. i believe both 3 is 3n??
OpenStudy (pfenn1):
Is this your equation?\[8x^{\frac{3}{2n}} - 8x^{-\frac{3}{2n}} = 63 \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

So the 8 is not affected by the exponent, only the x?
OpenStudy (callisto):
\[8x^{\frac{3}{2n}} - 8x^{-\frac{3}{2n}} = 63\]\[x^{\frac{3}{2n}}(8x^{\frac{3}{2n}} - 8x^{-\frac{3}{2n}}) = 63(x^{\frac{3}{2n}})\]\[8x^{2(\frac{3}{2n})} - 8 = 63x^{\frac{3}{2n}}\]\[8x^{2(\frac{3}{2n})} -63x^{\frac{3}{2n}} - 8 = 0\]\[(8x^{\frac{3}{2n}}+1)(x^{\frac{3}{2n}}-8)=0\]\[(8x^{\frac{3}{2n}}+1)=0 \ or\ (x^{\frac{3}{2n}}-8)=0\]\[x^{\frac{3}{2n}} = -0.125 \ or \ x^{\frac{3}{2n}} =8\]
