Which of the following best defines 3^2/3? (New Question at the Bottom) Square root of 9 Cube root of 9 Cube root of 3 Square root of 3
@pooja195
\[\huge 3^{2/3} \implies \sqrt[3]{3^2}\]
The general rule \[\huge x^{\frac{ m }{ n }} =\sqrt[n]{x^m}\]
Right, then what?
What does \[\sqrt[3]{3^2 }\] mean?
Or lets do this step by step what is \[\large 3^2\]
Uh, do you multiply 3 x 2?
Oh my bad. It's 9
No, these are exponents the number in the exponent implies how many times you're multiplying it by it self, so \[x^1 = x\]\[x^2 = x \times x\]\[x^3 = x \times x \times x\]
Right!
So now we have \[\large \sqrt[3]{9}\]
Note a square root is \[\huge \sqrt{x}\] so what does \[\huge \sqrt[3]{x}\] mean
\[\sqrt{x} = x^{1/2}~~~~~~\sqrt[3]{x} = x^{1/3}\]
I'm not really sure,
Well a square root is just \[\huge \sqrt{x} = x^{1/2}\] and a quad root is \[\huge \sqrt[4]{x} = x^{1/4}\] there's a pattern going on think you notice it yet?
\[\huge \sqrt[3]{x} = x^{1/3}\] what is this called?
Look at your options if you have to
Is it a cube root?
Yes!
So that leaves me to either B or C
Think about it, we already did the first part so we have \[\huge \sqrt[3]{9}\]
Emm, is it B?
Sounds good..
Cool thanks! You think you can help me with another?
Part A: Sam rented a boat at $225 for 2 days. If he rents the same boat for 5 days, he has to pay a total rent of $480. Write an equation in the standard form to represent the total rent (y) that Sam has to pay for renting the boat for x days. Part B: Write the equation obtained in Part A using function notation. Part C: Describe the steps to graph the equation obtained above on the coordinate axes. Mention the labels on the axes and the intervals.
... Or I can just close this question and open another...
