solve t^2/3 = 4
:
t%5E%282%2F3%29 = 4
Cube both sides
%28t%5E%282%2F3%29%29%5E3 = 4%5E3
t%5E%28%282%2F3%29%2A3%29 = 4 * 4 * 4
t%5E2 = 64
t = sqrt%2864%29
:
t = +/-8

Start with the given equation.


t%5E2=4%5E3 Cube both sides. This will eliminate the "3" in the denominator.


t%5E2=64 Cube 4 to get 64


t=8 or t=-8 Take the square root of 64 to get 8 or -8.


So the solution is t=8 or t=-8
