So if you have x to the 1/3 power plus x to the 2/3 power, that would = x to the 3/3 power, right?

hero (hero):

They gave you \[x^{1/3} + x^{2/3} \] and they want you to do what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

add them, inside parentheses....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm assuming anyway...there's a plus sign between the two inside parentheses...and the stuff in parentheses is then brought to the second power..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm probably not making any sense here..

hero (hero):

No, you're not. What parentheses?

hero (hero):

\[x^{1/3}(1+x^{1/3})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x ^{1/3} +x ^{2/3})^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I finally typed something using the equation editor! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's the right equation I just posted..

hero (hero):

Where did the squared come from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You mean the 2 outside the parenthesis?

hero (hero):

That wasn't in the original post

hero (hero):

I see what to do now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops..

hero (hero):

You have to multiply

hero (hero):

\[(x^{1/3} + x^{2/3})*(x^{1/3} + x^{2/3})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But what about the addition inside the parentheses? Do I just do the addition inside, or do I multiply the x values inside together, also? If I do add the stuff inside, how will their exponents turn out?

hero (hero):

I will show you....I'm going to post a classroom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then..

hero (hero):

Where are you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have not recieved your thing in my e-mail yet..

hero (hero):

I posted the link above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm assuming that's where you'd post it..

hero (hero):

It's above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think answer is x+x^2

hero (hero):

It's not

hero (hero):

I already explained the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could also be written as cuberoot of x + (cuberoot of x)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is x+x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure if your answer is right either hero boy

hero (hero):

My answer is correct...you didn't see it because you weren't invited to my class

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh my

OpenStudy (anonymous):

touchy subject for you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you hold classes?! wow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

prove it

hero (hero):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you prove your answer is right?

hero (hero):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

hero (hero):

What's the matter? You don't like my classroom?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm just kidding

hero (hero):

I can still show you that my solution is correct, you'll just have to wait your turn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what teaching credentials do you posess?

hero (hero):

All of them
