Question

If a varies inversely as the cube root of b and a=1 when b=64, find b​

Answer 1

Answer:

  b = 64/a³

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the given information, we can only find a relation between a and b. We cannot find any specific value for b.

Since a varies inversely as the cube root of b, we have ...

  a = k/∛b

Multiplying by ∛b lets us find the value of k:

  k = a·∛b = 1·∛64 = 4

Taking the cube of this equation gives ...

  64 = a³b

  b = 64/a³ . . . . . divide by a³

The value of b is ...

  b = 64/a³
