the equation is \left(8^{\frac{1}{5}}\right)^{5}=8

11 answers

The original equation is

\[ \left(8^{\frac{1}{5}}\right)^{5}=8. \]

Substituting \( x \) for \( 8^{\frac{1}{5}} \), we have:

\[ \left(x\right)^{5} = 8. \]

Therefore, the rewritten equation with the substitution is

\[ x^{5} = 8. \]

Solve for a positive value of xx, expressing your answer with a radical symbol.

We have the equation

\[ x^5 = 8. \]

To solve for \( x \), we can take the fifth root of both sides:

\[ x = 8^{\frac{1}{5}}. \]

Since we want to express \( 8 \) with a radical symbol, we can write \( 8 \) as \( 2^3 \). Thus,

\[ 8^{\frac{1}{5}} = (2^3)^{\frac{1}{5}} = 2^{\frac{3}{5}}. \]

Expressing this with a radical symbol gives us:

\[ x = \sqrt[5]{8} = \sqrt[5]{2^3}. \]

So, the positive value of \( x \) is

\[ \sqrt[5]{8}. \]

no what dose x eaqule in the equation

To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( x^5 = 8 \):

  1. We take the fifth root of both sides:

    \[ x = 8^{\frac{1}{5}}. \]

  2. Since \( 8 \) can be expressed as \( 2^3 \), we can rewrite this as:

    \[ x = (2^3)^{\frac{1}{5}} = 2^{\frac{3}{5}}. \]

  3. Now, to express \( 2^{\frac{3}{5}} \) with a radical, we have:

    \[ x = \sqrt[5]{2^3} = \sqrt[5]{8}. \]

Thus, the positive value of \( x \) is

\[ x = \sqrt[5]{8} \approx 2^{0.6}. \]

If you want the exact numerical value, \( x \) is approximately \( 2^{0.6} \) or about \( 1.5157 \). However, in radical form, \( x = \sqrt[5]{8} \).

the equiton is (12^1/4)^4 = 12

The original equation is

\[ \left(12^{\frac{1}{4}}\right)^{4} = 12. \]

Substituting \( x \) for \( 12^{\frac{1}{4}} \), we have:

\[ \left(x\right)^{4} = 12. \]

Therefore, the rewritten equation with the substitution is

\[ x^{4} = 12. \]

the equation is \left(8^{\frac{1}{3}}\right)^{3}=8

The original equation is

\[ \left(8^{\frac{1}{3}}\right)^{3} = 8. \]

Substituting \( x \) for \( 8^{\frac{1}{3}} \), we have:

\[ \left(x\right)^{3} = 8. \]

Therefore, the rewritten equation with the substitution is

\[ x^{3} = 8. \]

To evaluate the left-hand side of the equation

\[ x^{\frac{3}{5}} \cdot x^{\frac{1}{6}} = x^a, \]

we can use the property of exponents that states \( x^m \cdot x^n = x^{m+n} \).

  1. First, we need to add the exponents \( \frac{3}{5} \) and \( \frac{1}{6} \):

    \[ a = \frac{3}{5} + \frac{1}{6}. \]

  2. To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of \( 5 \) and \( 6 \) is \( 30 \).

    • Convert \( \frac{3}{5} \) to have a denominator of \( 30 \):

    \[ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \cdot 6}{5 \cdot 6} = \frac{18}{30}. \]

    • Convert \( \frac{1}{6} \) to have a denominator of \( 30 \):

    \[ \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1 \cdot 5}{6 \cdot 5} = \frac{5}{30}. \]

  3. Now we can add the two fractions:

    \[ a = \frac{18}{30} + \frac{5}{30} = \frac{18 + 5}{30} = \frac{23}{30}. \]

Thus, the value of \( a \) in simplest form is

\[ \boxed{\frac{23}{30}}. \]
