\(x+3 = 0 \longrightarrow x = -3\)
It better be zero at x = -3. If it's zero at x = 3, something is very wrong.
This eliminates two. Now what?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it's either C or D, right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
?

You were not paying attention. Those are the ones that were ruled out.
Repeat: "If it's zero at x = 3, something is very wrong. "
Where are C and D zero? It look like x = 3 to me.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh sorry
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so A or B, I get it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so how do I know which one? @tkhunny
OpenStudy (tkhunny):
You look at it and think about it?
x = 0 should lead to the cube root of 3 (1.44ish). Do they do that.
Do you know any perfect cubes?
\(\sqrt[3]{1} = 1\)
\(\sqrt[3]{8} = 2\)
\(\sqrt[3]{27} = 3\)
Do they do that?

no, neither of them
OpenStudy (tkhunny):
Really? Try x = 5.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x = 5, y = 1.709...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait, that's wrong
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I don't get how to do that

I'm confused
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@tkhunny
OpenStudy (tkhunny):
?? x = 5
\(\sqrt[3]{5+3} = \sqrt[3]{8} = 2\)
Perhaps you were using the SQUARE root?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh yeah I was
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so for x = 5, y = 125?

No, it's not \((5+3)^{3} = 512\). It's \(\sqrt[3]{5+3} = \sqrt[3]{8} = 2\)
