Evaluate 8^(1/3)

$8^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Step 1

Simplify the expression.

Rewrite $8$ as $2^{3}$ .

${(2^{3})}^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$2^{3 (\frac{1}{3})}$

Step 2

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$2^{3 (\frac{1}{3})}$

Rewrite the expression.

$2^{1}$

Step 3

Evaluate the exponent.

$2$
