$\"%28x%2B1%29%5E%28-3%2F2%29=8\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B1%29%5E%283%2F2%29=1%2F8\"$ . The left hand side can be thought of as $\"%28%28x%2B1%29%5E%281%2F2%29%29%5E3\"$ , in which case we take the cube root of both sides to give:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B1%29%5E%281%2F2%29+=+1%2F2\"$ . Now we square both sides, to give:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B1%29+=+1%2F4\"$ . So, the answer is x=-3/4\r
