Q. Which one is NOT equal to \( (\sqrt[3]{8})^{-1/2} \) ?
(a) \( (\sqrt[3]{2})^{-1/2} \) (b) \( 8^{-1/6} \) (c) \( \frac{1}{(\sqrt[3]{8})^{1/2}} \) (d) \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \)

✏️ Solution

\( \sqrt[3]{8} = 2 \)

\( (\sqrt[3]{8})^{-1/2} = 2^{-1/2} \)

\( = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \)

(a) \( (\sqrt[3]{2})^{-1/2} = 2^{-1/6} \)

\( \neq 2^{-1/2} \)

(b) \( 8^{-1/6} = (2^3)^{-1/6} = 2^{-1/2} \)

(c) \( \frac{1}{(\sqrt[3]{8})^{1/2}} = 2^{-1/2} \)

(d) \( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 2^{-1/2} \)

Correct Option: (a)

\( \boxed{(\sqrt[3]{2})^{-1/2}} \)
