![**Evaluate \( 8^{\frac{5}{3}} \)**
This expression involves calculating the power of 8 raised to the fraction \(\frac{5}{3}\). First, recognize that \( 8^{\frac{5}{3}} \) can be broken down into \((8^{\frac{1}{3}})^5\).
Steps to Solve:
1. **Find the cube root of 8**:
\[
8^{\frac{1}{3}} = 2
\]
because \(2^3 = 8\).
2. **Raise the result to the 5th power**:
\[
(2)^5 = 32
\]
Thus, the evaluation of \( 8^{\frac{5}{3}} \) is 32.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F85442580-55b3-46cc-9a23-66f350670659%2F4d6f5b67-f369-452b-9660-82dd83abcf91%2Fnubvk1g_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
