Answer 1

To rewrite \( 8^{1/2} \) using a root, we can express it as the square root of 8. The correct notation for this is:

\[
\sqrt{8}
\]

So, from the provided options, none of them directly match \( \sqrt{8} \), but you can express it using equivalent forms such as:

- \( 8^{1/2} \) is equivalent to \( \sqrt{8} \).

If you meant to represent only the square root in terms of roots and indices, the appropriate response from the options provided might be:

**root index Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction Start Root 8 End Root**

This notation indicates \( 8^{1/2} \) in root form.
