x^3 = -8

The cube root of 8 is 2 = 2 x 2 x 2 is 8.

But, the answer is negative, which means that the cube root of -8 must be -2.

-2 x -2 x -2 = -8

x = -2

Hope this helps!

Let's start the sum as follows:

x³ = 8

X × X × X = 8

This means there are 3 number which after Multiplication gives answer 8.

If 2 is multtiplied 3 times it will give you 8

Thus the answer of x is 2

x = 2.

Which fraction is equivalent to 38%?<br> 3/8<br> 9/25<br> 19/50<br> 3 4\5
KonstantinChe [14]
In order to find a fraction, We know that a percentage is out of a 100. This means we can now place our fraction as:

38/100

In order to find the actual fraction, we will want to simplify. Lets find our least common factor and work down from there. Since we know that 2 can go into both of them, lets reduce by 2.

This means our fraction will now look like: 

19/50

Since 19 is a prime number and cannot be divided by anything but 1 and itself, we know that this is our simplified form. 

This means:

19/50 is the fraction equivalent to 38%.

Why does it make sense that 4 x (-3) and -3 x 4 have the same product?
Contact [7]

Answer:

hello!!!

We will learn it simple method,we know that multiplication of whole numbers is repeated addition. For example

3*4= 4+4+4

in this same way we can say that

[-12]=(-3)+(-3)+(-3)+(-3)

also,

4(*-3)=(-12)

for the second equation we can take it same as the above one

So it make no diffrence when we multiplied integers as (positive)*(negative) OR (NEGATIVE)*(POSITIVE)

And so now we can say

FOR ANY TWO POSITIVE INTEGER a and b WE CAN SAY

 (-a) *(b) = (-b)*(a) = -(a*b)

HOPE FULLY U MAY LIKED MY ANSWER GIVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND IF WANTS ANYTHING OTHER YOU MAY ASK ME IN COMMENT
