@mathmate @satellite73

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Please write out the exact words :)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Is the expression this? \(\Large\rm \frac{1}{2}n^3\) or this? \(\Large\rm \frac{1}{2n^3}\)

OpenStudy (firejay5):

@zepdrix It's the first one

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Your answer is acceptable @firejay5

OpenStudy (firejay5):

@skullpatrol is there another answer that will work?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Many...

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

You can say n cubed, the cube of n, n to the third, etc, etc...

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Also one half of n cubed

OpenStudy (firejay5):

like half of n cubed would work

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Yes that works.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

That's why I asked for the exact words, in questions like these.

OpenStudy (firejay5):

didn't I do that, it was at the top of the comment box

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

I meant write out the words you would use to express the symbols 1/2 and n^3.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

I could express 1/2 as the reciprocal of two, right?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Also, n^3 could be read as the third power of n .

OpenStudy (firejay5):

oh okay gotcha

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
