CAS Problem
Hi

Just been working through some simple expressions on my HP Prime and found an anomaly.
I'm not sure if I'm missing something here.

In CAS mode, if I enter....

EQ(8^(-3/2),(sqrt 8)^(-3)), I should get 1 in return because these expressions are equivalent.

Instead I get 0.

Replacing the above with any value other than 8 and all is correct, but with 8 it screws up.

Am I missing something or is this a bug, and if its a bug is it specific to the Prime, or CAS calculators in general?

Can anyone try this with a different model of CAS calculator and see what happens?

I'd be really interested to know what's going on here because this is pretty basic stuff to be getting wrong.

Thanks for any help.
