Question 1208461: Write the given expression as a single quotient in which only positive exponents and/or radicals appear.
[(8x + 1)^(1/3)]/[3(x - 2)^(1/2)]^(1/3) + [(x - 2)^(1/3)]/[24(8x + 1)^(1/2)]^(1/3)
Note: x does not equal 2; x does not equal -1/8.

Since this post has been sitting on this forum for a week without receiving any responses, I will provide mine.

In my opinion, solving a problem like this teaches no skills that can't be taught with much less convoluted examples. So working a problem like this is a waste of time.

If this problem is actually part of an assignment, and you have tried to work it and want to check your answer, then go to wolframalpha.com and enter "simplify: [(8x + 1)^(1/3)]/[3(x - 2)^(1/2)]^(1/3) + [(x - 2)^(1/3)]/[24(8x + 1)^(1/2)]^(1/3)"
