Solve x to the third power = 1/8 a) 1/2b) _+ 1/2c) 1/4d)_+ 1/4

Notice that:
[tex]8=2^3.[/tex]Now, applying cubic root to both sides of the equation we get:
[tex]\sqrt[3]{x^3}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{8}}.[/tex]Recall that:
[tex]\sqrt[3]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[3]{a}}{\sqrt[3]{b}}.[/tex]Therefore:
[tex]\sqrt[3]{x^3}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{8}}=\frac{1}{2}\text{.}[/tex]Answer: First option.
