okay so i know that i already asked this question but, i did some thinking (good for me right :D) and i said that cuberoot(5)-cuberoot(3) is larger because because the space between the the points on the graph are further apart, or have a longer secant line. is that a fair assumption? the original question was...using the graph cuberoot(x) explain without using algebra whether cuberoot(5)-cuberoot(3) or cuberoot(7)-cube(5) is larger

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what would be construed as using algebra?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says any alegebra

OpenStudy (amistre64):

3rt(7) and 3rt(5) tend to be more level, and change less than 3rt(3) and 3rt(5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my secant idea was wrong?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its good, but you gotta see it as the slope of the line; 5 to 7 changes little compared to 3 to 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5-3 has a smaller slope than the 7-5

OpenStudy (amistre64):

spose 2-2 = 0; 7 to 5 and 2-1 = 1; 5 to 3

OpenStudy (amistre64):

larger slope

OpenStudy (amistre64):

changes quicker

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay it makes sense thank you amirstre you are like my favorite person you have answered pretty much all of my questions

OpenStudy (amistre64):

youre welcome

so it wants to me to create a similar question using a different function which im using e^x and my equation is e^3-e^2 which is greater then e^8-e^5
