please help !!! The sum of the square of a and the cube of b is equal to twenty-five. turn into an equation inequality, or formula

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

"square of a" is the same as saying "a squared" that as an expression is \(\Large a^2\)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what would "the cube of b" translate into?

OpenStudy (jakelee):

cube of b would be b3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes b^3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

"sum" means "add" so all together, " The sum of the square of a and the cube of b" means a^2 + b^3

OpenStudy (jakelee):

thank you I now understand it more clearly

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

there's one last step but I'm sure you see what it is

OpenStudy (jakelee):

yep

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
