Exponent Practice: x^2/3=64

1 answer:

6 0

X^2/3 = 64
$x^{2} =64^{3}$
$x = 64^{3/2}$

it is easier to first find square root of 64 and than power it to 3
square root of 64 is 8 which means our equation now looks like:
x = 8^3
now the answer is after powering 8 to 3:
x = 512

The length of a rectangle is 2 foot less than 3 times its width. Find the the dimensions of this rectangle if the area is 96 squ

Xelga [282]

For example,area = a, length = l, width = w
First we write two equations. The easier equation is the area equation, which we know to be
a = l x w
So that the first equation is :
96 = l x w 

we make the second equation of the following statements :
The length of a rectangle is 2 foot less than 3 times its width.
so it becomes :
l = 3w - 2

To solve, we can use the substitution method.

$96 = l \times w\\96=(3w-2) \times w\\96=3w^{2}-2w\\3w^{2}-2w-96=0~~~~~~[now\ factor\ the\ equation]\\ (3w+16)(w-6)=0$

$3w+16=0\\3w=-16\\w= -\frac{16}{3}~~~~\Rightarrow~~~answer\ doesnt\ make\ sense\ , negative\ width.
$

$w-6=0\\\boxed{w=6~~~~~~~\Rightarrow~~~~positive\ answer\ for\ width\ makes\ sense }
$

So if our width is 6, Now substitute the value of w = 6 into equation 2 

$l=3w-2\\l=3(6)-2\\l=18-2\\l=16$

So "w" = 6 and "l" = 16, and if we multiply them together, we get the correct area, 96. So our dimensions are 6 by 16.
