Solve each equation. x3/2 = 125

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the equation given: \(x^{\frac{3}{2}} = 125\).
Recall that the exponent \(\frac{3}{2}\) means the square root of \(x\) raised to the third power, or equivalently, \((x^{\frac{1}{2}})^3\).
To isolate \(x\), raise both sides of the equation to the reciprocal power of \(\frac{3}{2}\), which is \(\frac{2}{3}\), so you get \(\left(x^{\frac{3}{2}}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}} = 125^{\frac{2}{3}}\).
Simplify the left side using the property of exponents: \(\left(x^{a}\right)^{b} = x^{a \cdot b}\), so \(x^{\frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3}} = x^1 = x\).
Evaluate the right side by first finding the cube root of 125, then squaring the result: \(125^{\frac{1}{3}}\) and then square it to get \(125^{\frac{2}{3}}\).

Rational Exponents

Rational exponents represent roots and powers combined. For example, x^(3/2) means the square root of x cubed, or (√x)^3. Understanding how to manipulate and interpret these exponents is essential for solving equations involving fractional powers.

Isolating the Variable

To solve equations like x^(3/2) = 125, you first isolate the variable expression. This often involves applying inverse operations such as raising both sides to the reciprocal power to undo the rational exponent and solve for x.
