Let i = sqrt(-1) which is the conventional notation to set up an imaginary number
The idea is to break up the radicand, aka stuff under the square root, to simplify
sqrt(-8) = sqrt(-1*4*2)
sqrt(-8) = sqrt(-1)*sqrt(4)*sqrt(2)
sqrt(-8) = i*2*sqrt(2)
sqrt(-8) = 2i*sqrt(2)
<h3>Answer is choice A</h3>
Hello!

Recall that:
is equal to
. Therefore:
![\sqrt[3]{x^{2} } = x^{\frac{2}{3} }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%5E%7B2%7D%20%7D%20%3D%20x%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B2%7D%7B3%7D%20%7D)
There is also an exponent of '6' outside. According to exponential properties, when an exponent is within an exponent, you multiply them together. Therefore:
