Question

How can you rewrite 8^1/2

Answer 1

To rewrite \( 8^{1/2} \), you can express it as the square root of 8.

\[
8^{1/2} = \sqrt{8}
\]

You can further simplify \( \sqrt{8} \) since \( 8 \) can be expressed as \( 4 \times 2 \):

\[
\sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 \times 2} = \sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2}
\]

Thus, \( 8^{1/2} \) can be rewritten as \( 2\sqrt{2} \).
