however i have no clue how to get to those answers myself
OpenStudy (anonymous):
put x=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=(27)^3/2-1
y=9-1=8
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea i got that one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its the x values that get me

and put y=0
then 0=(x+27)^2/3-1
1=(x+27)^2/3
1=(x+27)^2
(x+27)=+-1
x=-26 or -28
