A) 1/2
B) ± 1/2
C) 1/4
D) ± 1/4

Answer 1

To solve the equation x³ = 1/8, we take the cube root on both sides which gives us x = 1/2.

The correct answer is a.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asked is to solve the equation x³ = 1/8. The way to approach this problem is to take the cube root of both sides of the equation. Taking the cube root of 1/8 yields 1/2, since (1/2)³ = 1/8. Hence, the solution to the equation x³ = 1/8 is x = 1/2.
