Question

Solve for x
: x8=120
(1 point)
x=

Answer 1

To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( x^8 = 120 \), you can take the eighth root of both sides:

\[
x = 120^{1/8}
\]

Now, calculating \( 120^{1/8} \):

1. First, find \( 120^{1/8} \) using a calculator or exponentiation.

\( 120^{1/8} \approx 2.087 \) (approximately).

So the solution is:

\[
x \approx 2.087
\]

If you need a more precise answer, you can also express it as:

\[
x \approx 2.0865
\]

The exact answer is \( x = 120^{1/8} \).
