${(\sqrt{3 t + 8})}^{2}$

Step 1

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{3 t + 8}$ as ${(3 t + 8)}^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

${({(3 t + 8)}^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}$

Step 2

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

${(3 t + 8)}^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2}$

Step 3

Combine $\frac{1}{2}$ and $2$ .

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

Step 4

Cancel the common factor of $2$ .
