Karen wants to prove 8–√3 = 8^1/3 . Which of the following expressions could she use to help her show the two expressions are equivalent?
A. 8 1/3+1/3+1/3
B. (2+2+2+2)^1/3
C. 2^1/3+1/3+1/3
D. (2x2x2)^1/3
E. 8^1/3+8^1/3+8^1/3
B. (2+2+2+2)^1/3
This expression represents breaking down 8 into 2+2+2+2, which can then be simplified as (2^3)^1/3 = 2^1/3 = 8^1/3. This helps show the equivalence between 8-√3 and 8^1/3 by demonstrating the calculation steps involved.
