HELP PLEASE!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at the degres of the root

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is odd

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!!!

Directrix (directrix):

@RH I think the answer is not D but I need to check a theorem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Directrix, it is D, try for example this: (-2)*(-2)*(-2)=-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sqrt[3]{-8}\]=-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you guys for helping!

Directrix (directrix):

I agree with that. It is the exponent that I am trying to remember - what happens order of operation wise. I can't prove anything or find the theorem just yet so @RH and @SerikMB ignore my comments.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Directrix, the matter here is in the degree of the root

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it is even, then it will convert it into positive, you are probably here confusing with complex numbers. Where the degree is even and you have - in the root. But when the degree is odd then "-" in the root is ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Directrix

Directrix (directrix):

I see. Thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you a lot guys for explaining that :)

Directrix (directrix):

Thanks for your patience @RH .
