Question 63923: Really need help with this one.
Solve the equation.

^3 sqrt(x^2) = 4

I don't really know what you mean. What did you mean by ^3? Did you mean the third root of x^2? If so, this is what you do.
Solve the equation.

3rd rt(x^2) = 4
(3rd rt(x^2))^3=4^3
x^2=64

x=+\-8
:
Check for extraneous solutions:
3rd rt((8)^2)=4
3rd rt (64)=4
4=4 x=8 checks out.
3rd rt((-8)^2)=4
3rd rt(64)=4
4=4 x=-8 also checks out.
Happy Calculating!!!
