Step 1
Formula used:
The relation between radical and rational exponent notation is expressed as,
an=a1/n
Here, a is the radicand, and n is the index of the radical.
(an)m=amn
=amn
The product rule for radicals,
abnanbn
The quotient rule for radicals,
n{ab}=n{a}n{b}
Step 2
Consider the given expression,
x8
Use the relation between radical and rational exponent notation to simplify the expression,
x8=(x8)12
=(x42)12
=x12(4)12(2)12
=x12(22)12(2)12
Further simplify by using the product rule and quotient rule for radicals,
x8=x22
=x22×22
=x2222
=2x4
Hence, the simplified value of the provided expression is 2x4
