Solve for y... (1/(y^2)+3)=(x^3)+2x-5 someone please help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So how far do you get on this problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I feel like the first step should be factoring the right side but I don't know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you can't factor the right side. There is no reason to since you are solving for y. So your go is to get Y by itself. So do any algebra you can to get Y alone on either side of the equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=1/\[y=1/\sqrt{x ^{3}+2x-5}\]

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant -8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That seems right. But you can not forget the Plus or Minues 1 since you Square rooted the 1! Remember you get two values, a positive and negative, when square rooting a number.
