Question

P³ = 1/8 please help me if anybody can .

Answer 1

P would be equal to 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

$p= \dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

$p^3=\dfrac{1}{8}$

Cube root both sides:

$\implies \sqrt[3]{p^3}= \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{1}{8}}$

$\implies p= \sqrt[3]{\dfrac{1}{8}}$

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad \sqrt[n]{a}=a^{\frac{1}{n}}:$

$\implies p= \left(\dfrac{1}{8}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad \left(\dfrac{a}{b}\right)^c=\dfrac{a^c}{b^c}:$

$\implies p= \dfrac{1^{\frac{1}{3}}}{8^{\frac{1}{3}}}$

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad 1^a=1:$

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{8^{\frac{1}{3}}}$

Rewrite 8 as 2³:

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{(2^3)^{\frac{1}{3}}}$

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad (a^b)^c=a^{bc}:$

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{2^{(3 \cdot \frac{1}{3})}}$

Simplify:

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{2^{\frac{3}{3}}}$

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{2^{1}}$

$\implies p= \dfrac{1}{2}$
