Why doesn't a cube root have two answers

1 answer:

5 0

A cube root has THREE answers !

Unfortunately, two of them are 'complex' numbers, which involve
'imaginary' numbers', and those involve the square root of -1 .
In Middle School, you're not equipped to go there yet.

Just hang on for a few more years. You'll learn all kinds of
beautiful things in math, more than you can imagine now.
You'll learn that whatever number the root is, there are
THAT many answers.

Like for example, if you want the 7th root of a number,
there are seven of them !

What is f(x)=2(3)^x?

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

This is an exponential function

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x)=2(3)^x is one example of the exponential function. Since f(0) = 2(1) = 2, the y-intercept is (0, 2). The x-axis is the horizontal asymptote. The graph begins in Quadrant II, passes through (0, 2) and continues to increase, faster and faster, in Quadrant I. Next time, please be more specific about what you'd like to know.

Compound interest In Exercise,$3000 is invested in an account at interest rate r,compounded continuously.Find the time required

xenn [34]

Answer:

(a) 8.15

(b) 12.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: P = $3000, r = 0.085

$A = Pe^{rt}$

Where

A is the Amount

P is the Principal

r is the rate

t is the time

(a) For the amount to double, A = 2 × P

A = 2 × $3000

A = $6000

$6000 = 3000e^{0.085t}$

$\frac{6000}{3000} = e^{0.085t}$

$2 = e^{0.085t}$

Take $log_{e}$ of both sides

$log_{e}2 = log_{e}e^{0.085t}$

But $log_{e}e = 1$

∴ $ln2 = 0.085t$

$t = \frac{ln2}{0.085}$

$t = \frac{0.693}{0.085}$

t = 8.15

(b) For the amount to double, A = 3 × P

A = 3 × $3000

A = $9000

$9000 = 3000e^{0.085t}$

$\frac{9000}{3000} = e^{0.085t}$

$3 = e^{0.085t}$

Take $log_{e}$ of both sides

$log_{e}3 = log_{e}e^{0.085t}$

But $log_{e}e = 1$

∴ $ln3 = 0.085t$

$t = \frac{ln3}{0.085}$

$t = \frac{1.0986}{0.085}$

t = 12.92

If the area of the blue square is 144 units2 and the area of the pink square is 1225 units2, then the length of the hypotenuse i

navik [9.2K]

Answer: 37 units

Step-by-step explanation:

$Blue=144units^2$ This also works as the height of the triangle.

$Pink=1225units^2$ This also works as the base of the triangle.

Let's call pink ''a'', and blue ''b''. The side we're looking for ''c'' is the hypothenuse.

To find the values of a and b, use the area formula of a square and solve for a side. In this case, since we're going to need the squared values, this step can be omitted.

$Formula: A=s^2$
