Question

(y+1)^(2/3)=9

Answer 1

Solve

Answer 2

If
(y+1)^(2/3)=9
then
(y+1) = 9^(3/2)

Now what is 9^(3/2) equal to?

Answer 3

\[\sqrt[2]{9^{3}}\]

Answer 4

Yes, what is the value of that expression.
Hint: \( 9^{3/2} = (9^{1/2})^3 = ... \)

Answer 5

I'm not sure... \[729^{1/2}\]

Answer 6

???

Answer 7

Yes, but it's easier to write it the way I have because the square root of 9 is 3. Hence
\[ 9^{3/2} = (9^{1/2})^3 = 3^3 = 27 \]

Answer 8

where do you get the 1/2?

Answer 9

\[ \frac{3}{2} = 3 \times \frac{1}{2} \] hence
\[ 9^{3/2} = (9^{1/2})^3 \]

Answer 10

where do we go from there?

Answer 11

\[ 9^{3/2} = 9^{3 \times 1/2} = 9^{ 1/2 \times 3} = (9^{1/2})^3 = 3^3 = 27\]

Now \( (y+1)^{2/3} = 9 \) is equivalent to
\[ [(y+1)^{2/3}]^{3/2} = 9^{3/2} \]
i.e.,
\[ (y+1)^1 = 27 \]
i.e.,
\[ y + 1 = 27 \]
Thus \( y = ... \)
