Rewrite the expression using rational exponents.

Step-by-step explanation:

when taking the radical of a number its really just a fractioned exponent for example =

This is because in the radical the x has an exponent of 1 and since its the square root the radical is to the 2nd so you take the exponent of the X and put that of the what ever kind of radial you have such as a square root third root fourth root and so on...

in your case you would take X's exponent of 8 and since your taking the cube root would put the 8 over the 3.

hope that helped

x= -3 and

step-by-step explanation:

to find the roots of a cubic, use division or factoring to find the factors then set equal to 0. as this is a difference of cubes, it factors into

where a is the cube root of .

here   this is 27 and the cube root of 27 is 3. so we write using the form:

.

set each factor to 0 and solve for x.

x-3=0

x=3

the quadratic expression does not factor and must be solved using the quadratic formula.

where a = 1, b=3, and c=9

this cubic has two complex roots.
