Given the following expression:


(\sqrt[3]{8})^5

We will simplify the expression to find the equivalent expressions:

We will use the following rules of the exponents:


\begin{gathered} (a^m)^n=a^(mn) \\ \\ \sqrt[m]{a^n}=a^{(n)/(m)} \end{gathered}

So, the given expression can be written as follows:


\begin{gathered} (\sqrt[3]{8})^5=(8^{(1)/(3)})^5=8^{(5)/(3)} \\ \\ =(2^3)^{(5)/(3)}=2^5 \\ \\ =32 \end{gathered}

So, there are 3 correct equivalent expressions.

So, the answer will be:


\begin{gathered} 32 \\ 2^5 \\ 8^{(5)/(3)} \end{gathered}
