<h3>Answer: Choice C</h3>
RootIndex 12 StartRoot 8 EndRoot Superscript x
12th root of 8^x = (12th root of 8)^x
=========================================
Explanation:
The general rule is
so any nth root is the same as having a fractional exponent 1/n.
Using that rule we can say the cube root of 8 is equivalent to 8^(1/3)
-----
Raising this to the power of (1/4)x will have us multiply the exponents of 1/3 and (1/4)x like so
(1/3)*(1/4)x = (1/12)x
In other words,
-----
From here, we rewrite the fractional exponent 1/12 as a 12th root. which leads us to this
