Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given equation</u>:

2x^3+16=0

To <u>solve</u> for the <u>unknown variable x</u>, apply <u>arithmetic operations</u> to <u>isolate the variable</u>.

Subtract 16 from both sides:

\implies 2x^3+16-16=0-16

\implies 2x^3=-16

Divide both sides by 2:

\implies \dfrac{2x^3}{2}=\dfrac{-16}{2}

\implies x^3=-8

Take the cube root of both sides:

\implies \sqrt[3]{x^3}=\sqrt[3]{-8}

\implies x=-2

When taking the <u>cube root of a negative number</u>, the result will be negative.  To understand why, examine what happens when we cube a negative number.

When a number is cubed, it is multiplied by itself, then by itself again.

When multiplying a <u>negative number</u> by another <u>negative number</u>, the result is always positive.

When multiplying a <u>positive number</u> by a <u>negative number</u>, the result is always negative.

Therefore:

\begin{aligned}\implies (-2)^3 &= -2 \cdot -2 \cdot -2\\ & = 4 \cdot -2\\& = -8\end{aligned}

So if -8 is cube rooted, the result is -2.

Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^3 +16 = 0

We are solving for x

Subtract 16 from each side

2x^3 +16- 16 = 0-16

2x^3 = -16

Divide each side by 2

(2x^3 ) /2 = -16/2

x^3 = -8

Take the cube root of each side

\sqrt[3]{x^3} = \sqrt[3]{-8}

x = -2

Madison is making party flavors she wants to make enough flavors so each guest gets the same number of flavors she knows there w
bazaltina [42]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

To find the least number of party favors, we have to consider the number of guests.


In this case, there are two possibilities—6 or 8.


For 6: 6, 12, 18, 24 (Add 6 to each number)

For 8: 8, 16, 24 (Add 8 to each number)


Now in both series, the least number (that is in common) is 24. Hence, Madison should make at least 24 party favors.

the height of the rectangular box is 4 times its width, and its length is 2 in more than its width. the volume of the box is 60i
alexandr402 [8]

Step-by-step explanation:

height= 4b

length = 2 + b

volume = 60in³

or, l ×b × h = 60in³

or, (2+b) × b × 4b = 60in³

or, 4b²(2+b) = 60in³

or, 8b² + 4b³ = 60

or, 2b² + b³ = 15

or, b³ + 2b² -15= 0

b= 1.95

l= 2+1.95=3.95

h= 4×1.95 = 7.8
