2-sqrt[3]{x}=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2-sqrt[3]{x}=8

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

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

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 -\[-6^{3}\]

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

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: \[2- \sqrt[3]{0}=8\] \[2-0=8\] \[2 \neq 8\]
