Answer:

8 to the power of 1 over 3 equals 2 to the power of 3 whole to the power of 1 over 3 equals 2 to the power of 3 multiplied by 1 over 3 equals 2

Explanation:

Options are below

8 to the power of 1 over 3 equals 4 to the power of 3 whole to the power of 1 over 3 equals 4 to the power of 3 multiplied by 1 over 3 equals 4

8 to the power of 1 over 3 equals 2 to the power of 3 whole to the power of 1 over 3 equals 2 to the power of 3 multiplied by 1 over 3 equals 2

8 to the power of 1 over 3 equals 2 to the power of 4 whole to the power of 1 over 3 equals 2 to the power of 4 multiplied by 1 over 3 equals 16

16 to the power of 1 over 4 equals 8 to the power of 2 whole to the power of 1 over 4 equals 8 to the power of 2 multiplied by 1 over 4 equals 8

Given:

8^1/3

if a power is raised to a power, we simplify it by multiplying the exponents; this will create a whole number exponent

if 8 can be rewritten as a number to the 3rd power.

We have

8 = 2*2*2 = 2³

Therefore,

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

=2^3×1/3

=2^3/3

=2^1

=2
