Question

evaluate
216÷t³ t=-3

Answer 1

t = -8 :)

Answer 2

er... just -8 haha

Answer 3

How?

Answer 4

ok, so if there is no set of parentheses around the -3 it would mean \[-(3*3*3)\] which equals -27 and \[216 \div -27\] equals -8 :)

Answer 5

to check take -8 times -27

Answer 6

do you see how? :)

Answer 7

@Karrie135 Actually, it's not quite like that, but because of the negative number raised to an odd exponent, your answer came out correct anyway.

Answer 8

\( 216 \div t^3\) for t = -3

\(= 216 \div (-3)^3 \)

\(= 216 \div (-27) \)

\(= -8\)

Answer 9

Oh ok thanks for letting me know I was doing it wrong :) @mathstudent55
