Question

Select all possible values for x in the equation x^3=375?

Answer 1

Hello!

The answers are:

The possible values for x in the equation, are:

First option, $5\sqrt[3]{3}$

Second option,  $\sqrt[3]{375}$

Why?

To solve the problem, we need to remember the following properties of the exponents and roots:

$a\sqrt[n]{b}=\sqrt[n]{a^{n}*b} \\\\\sqrt[n]{a^{m} }=a^{\frac{m}{n}}\\\\(a^{b})^{c}=a^{b*c}$

Then, we are given the expression:

$x^{3}=375$

So, finding "x", we have:

$x^{3}=375\\\\(x^{3})^{\frac{1}{3} } =(375)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\\x=\sqrt[3]{375}=\sqrt[3]{125*3}=\sqrt[3]{125}*\sqrt[3]{3}=5\sqrt[3]{3}$

Hence, the possible values for x in the equation, are:

First option, $5\sqrt[3]{3}$

Second option,  $\sqrt[3]{375}$

Have a nice day!
