SUMMARY
The limit of the expression \(\lim_{x\to 8}\frac{x-8}{x^{\frac{1}{3}}-2}\) evaluates to 12. This conclusion is reached by factoring the numerator as \((x^{\frac{1}{3}}-2)(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{1}{3}}+4)\) and simplifying the expression. The final limit is computed as \(\lim_{x\to 8}(x^{\frac{2}{3}}+2x^{\frac{1}{3}}+4)\), confirming the result of 12. The discussion highlights the importance of proper factorization in limit evaluation.
