Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This question really threw me at first, even after graphing the equation I still didn't believe the answer.

(8^1/3) ^2 = 4^x

8^2/3   =  4^x                 Any fractional power is a root function

                                      x^1/2 = square of x  or   √x

                                      x^ 1/3  is the is the cubic root of x  or   ∛x

My first thought was to multiply the 1/3 times 2 (the square).

It is more oblivious if you find the cubed of 8 and then apply the square

     (∛8)²  =  2²  = 4       so    4 is equal to 4^x       4 = 4^x     if x =1
