$t^{\frac{2}{3}} = 8$

Step 1

Raise each side of the equation to the power of $\frac{3}{2}$ to eliminate the fractional exponent on the left side.

${(t^{\frac{2}{3}})}^{\frac{3}{2}} = \pm 8^{\frac{3}{2}}$

Step 3.1

First, use the positive value of the $\pm$ to find the first solution.

$t = 8^{\frac{3}{2}}$

Step 3.2

Next, use the negative value of the $\pm$ to find the second solution.

$t = - 8^{\frac{3}{2}}$

Step 3.3

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

$t = 8^{\frac{3}{2}}, - 8^{\frac{3}{2}}$

Step 4

The result can be shown in multiple forms.

Exact Form:
