You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Do you mean 8%5E%281%2F3%29???

If so, this means root%283%2C8%29=2. If I misunderstood your question, please send me an Email, and I will solve it for you.

For additional help with the topic of fractional exponents, please see my COMPLETE explanation on my own website. To find my website, do a "Bing" Search for my last name "Rapalje". Look for "Rapalje Homepage" near the top of the search list. Then, near the top of my Homepage, look for "Basic, Intermediate and College Algebra: One Step at a Time," select "Intermediate Algebra" and in "Chapter 3", you will find "Section 3.05 Fractional Exponents" that directly relate to this problem. This is my own non-traditional explanation that my own students have found MUCH easier to understand than the traditional textbooks. In addition to my explanations, examples and exercises, I have my "MATH IN LIVING COLOR" pages where I solved many of these exercises IN COLOR!!
