- 8^(1/4) and 8^(1/4) are the real solutions. The non-real solutions are - 8^(1/4)*i and 8^(1/4)*i if you also want those.

Since it is a polynomial of degree 4 it has four roots: (2 real and 2 imaginary)

x^4 = 8

take sqaure root of both sides

x^2 = +- sqrt(8)

take square root of both sides:

x = +-sqrt(+- sqrt(8))

answers:
sqrt(sqrt(8)) = 8^(1/4)
sqrt(-sqrt(8)) = i8^(1/4)
-sqrt(sqrt(8)) = -8^(1/4)
-sqrt(-sqrt(8)) = -i8^(1/4)

x^4-8=0
(x^2-√8)(x^2+√8)=0
(x- 8^¼)(x+ 8^¼) (x^2+√8) =0
x= +/-8^¼
[in real numbers only +/- 8^¼
but in imaginary numbers also +/- i 8^¼ ]

√2 √2 √2 √2 = 8
(-√2) (-√2) (-√2) (-√2) = 8
Thus x = ±√2
