Question
If $\text{x}^{-2}=64,$ then $\text{x}^{\frac{1}{3}}+\text{x}^0=$

Answer

  1. $\frac{3}{2}$
    Solution:
    We have to find the value of $\text{x}^{\frac{1}{3}}+\text{x}^0$ if $\text{x}^{-2}=64$
    Consider,
    $\text{x}^{-2}=2^6$
    $\frac{1}{\text{x}^2}=2^6$
    Multiply $\frac{1}{2}$ on both sides of powers we get
    $\frac{1}{\text{x}^{2\times\frac{1}{2}}}=2^{6\times\frac{1}{6}}$
    $\frac{1}{\text{x}}=2^3$
    $\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{8}{1}$
    By taking reciprocal on both sides we get,
    $\frac{1}{8}=\text{x}$
    Substituting $\frac{1}{8}$ in $\text{x}^{\frac{1}{3}}+\text{x}^0$ we get
    $=\Big(\frac{1}{8}\Big)^{\frac{1}{3}}+\Big(\frac{1}{8}\Big)^0$
    $=\Big(\frac{1}{2^2}\Big)^{\frac{1}{3}}+\Big(\frac{1}{8}\Big)^0$
    $=\frac{1}{2^{3\times\frac{1}{3}}}+1$
    $=\frac{1}{2^1}+1$
    $=\frac{1}{2}+1$
    By taking least common multiply we get
    $=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1\times2}{1\times2}$
    $=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{2}$
    $=\frac{1+2}{2}$
    $=\frac{3}{2}$
    Hence the correct choice is c.
