It's hard to interpret what you mean. I am reading it as taking (x8)1/3n
There is not a lot of simplification except to multiply the exponents: x8/3n

im sorry, its very difficult to type it out with the format but think of it as a fraction. 1 / 3nth square root and inside the root is x^8 . im not sure if nth root is the proper term but its the little number that goes on top of the square root.

i suppose cubed root is the proper term?

Ok, so it's cube root of x^8 which is x^(8/3) or x^2 *cube root of x^2. Not clear how this "simplifies." Hope that's what you need.

Do you want the cube root of x^8? Or do you want (x^8)^(1/3)?05/25/21
