Answer:
x
\±0.782

Explanation:

You need to solve for "x" in order to find its value.

First, you need to apply the Negative exponent rule. This is:


a^(-n)=(1)/(a^n)

Then:


3x^(- 4)= 8


(3)/(x^4)=8

Now you can solve for "x":


3=8x^4


(3)/(8)=x^4

Remember that:


\±\sqrt[n]{a^n}=\±a

Then, you get:


\±\sqrt[4]{(3)/(8)}=x


x
\±0.782
