  $\left(\sqrt{x-8}\right)^{\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}}=2^{\frac{1}{\frac{1}{2}}}$
  
  Learn how to solve equations with square roots problems step by step online. Solve the equation with radicals (x-8)^1/2=2. Removing the variable's exponent raising both sides of the equation to the power of 2. Divide 1 by 0.5. Simplify \left(\sqrt{x-8}\right)^{2} using the power of a power property: \left(a^m\right)^n=a^{m\cdot n}. In the expression, m equals 0.5 and n equals 2. Multiply 0.5 times 2.
