OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[2-\sqrt[3]{x}=8\]
OpenStudy (luigi0210):
Get the x by itself
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8-2=−3√x
6=−3√x
-6=3√x

Good, now do you know how to get rid of an exponent?

now by taking square root on both sides
-6^3=x
OpenStudy (luigi0210):
Hold on there cowboy.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but the answer is 0
OpenStudy (luigi0210):
So far we have this:
\[\sqrt[3]{x}=6\]
Which is the same as
\[x^{1/3}=-6\]
How can we make that exponent 1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
by taking cube root on both sides

If we take the cubic root again, we still get a fraction. Did you mean cube both sides?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry not cube rot just cube
OpenStudy (luigi0210):
So yea, you were right. What is -6^3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is -\[-6^{3}\]

Yes, do you know the final answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes it should be 0
by by this method the answer 0 is not coming
OpenStudy (luigi0210):
Hm, weird/
OpenStudy (luigi0210):
It can't be 0 though..
OpenStudy (luigi0210):
If we plug in 0 we get this:
\[2- \sqrt[3]{0}=8\]
\[2-0=8\]
\[2 \neq 8\]
