To solve the equation \( x^{2/3} = 64 \), follow these steps:
- Raise both sides to the reciprocal of the exponent \( \frac{3}{2} \):
\[ (x^{2/3})^{3/2} = 64^{3/2} \]
- Simplifying the left side:
\[ x^{(2/3) \cdot (3/2)} = x^1 = x \]
- Now compute the right side:
First, calculate \( 64^{3/2} \):
- Calculate \( 64^{1/2} = \sqrt{64} = 8 \).
- Then raise the result to the third power: \( 8^3 = 512 \).
So:
\[ x = 512 \]
Thus, the value of \( x \) is \( 512 \).
Therefore, the answer is \( 512 \).
