What is the square root of m^6?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nastasia [14]3 years ago

Answer:
If m is nonnegative (ie not allowed to be negative), then the answer is m^3
If m is allowed to be negative, then the answer is either |m^3| or |m|^3

==============================

Explanation:

There are two ways to get this answer. The quickest is to simply divide the exponent 6 by 2 to get 6/2 = 3. This value of 3 is the final exponent over the base m. Why do we divide by 2? Because the square root is the same as having an exponent of 1/2 = 0.5, so
sqrt(m^6) = (m^6)^(1/2) = m^(6*1/2) = m^(6/2) = m^3
This assumes that m is nonnegative. 

---------------------------

A slightly longer method is to break up the square root into factors of m^2 each and then apply the rule that sqrt(x^2) = x, where x is nonnegative

sqrt(m^6) = sqrt(m^2*m^2*m^2)
sqrt(m^6) = sqrt(m^2)*sqrt(m^2)*sqrt(m^2)
sqrt(m^6) = m*m*m
sqrt(m^6) = m^3
where m is nonnegative

------------------------------

If we allow m to be negative, then the final result would be either |m^3| or |m|^3. 

The reason for the absolute value is to ensure that the expression m^3 is nonnegative. Keep in mind that m^6 is always nonnegative, so sqrt(m^6) is also always nonnegative. In order for sqrt(m^6) = m^3 to be true, the right side must be nonnegative.

Example: Let's say m = -2
m^6 = (-2)^6 = 64
sqrt(m^6) = sqrt(64) = 8
m^3 = (-2)^3 = -8
Without the absolute value, sqrt(m^6) = m^3 is false when m = -2

Answer:

increase = 37.38 cm²

You'd like the first way because it took less effort and less chance of a miscalculation.

Step-by-step explanation:

first way:

(just work with the difference in height)

(0.7 x 8.7 x 2) + (0.7 x 18 x 2) = 37.38 cm²

second way:

old total lateral surface area = (31 x 8.7 x 2) + (31 x 18 x 2) = 1655.4

new total lateral surface area = (31.7 x 8.7 x 2) + (31.7 x 18 x 2) = 1692.78

increase = 1692.78 - 1655.4 = 37.38 cm²

Given f(x) = 18x + 8, find x when f(x)= 14.
Naddika [18.5K]

The answer is 0.3 (1/3.)

Proof?

f(0.3) = 18(0.3) + 8

f(0.3) = 6 + 8

f(0.3) = 14

14 = 14
