Exercises 177–179 will help you prepare for the material covered in the next section. If 8-8 is substituted for x in the equation 5x23+11x13+2=0 5x^{\(\frac{2}{3}\)} + 11x^{\(\frac{1}{3}\)} + 2 = 0 , is the resulting statement true or false?

검증된 단계별 안내

First, recognize that the equation given is \(5x^{\frac{2}{3}} + 11x^{\frac{1}{3}} + 2 = 0\). We need to substitute \(x = -8\) into this equation and check if the resulting statement is true or false.
Next, calculate \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\) when \(x = -8\). Since the exponent \(\frac{1}{3}\) represents the cube root, find \(\sqrt[3]{-8}\).
Then, use the value of \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\) to find \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}\). Recall that \(x^{\frac{2}{3}} = \left(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\right)^2\).
Substitute the values of \(x^{\frac{2}{3}}\) and \(x^{\frac{1}{3}}\) back into the original equation: \(5x^{\frac{2}{3}} + 11x^{\frac{1}{3}} + 2\).
Finally, simplify the expression step-by-step and determine if the result equals zero. If it does, the statement is true; if not, it is false.

Evaluating Expressions with Rational Exponents

Rational exponents represent roots and powers, where an exponent like 2/3 means taking the cube root first, then squaring the result. Understanding how to correctly evaluate expressions with fractional exponents is essential for substituting values into the equation.

Substitution in Algebraic Equations

Substitution involves replacing the variable with a given value to simplify or evaluate the expression. This process helps determine if the equation holds true for that specific value, which is key to answering whether the statement is true or false.
