2: 17.5 years. Work; 12 months in one year, 210 months divided by 12 months= 17.5 years.
-6 -8=-14C. When you subtract from a negative number the product will be smaller than when you started. Sometimes it helps to draw a number line and count that way.
We are given
Tobias dropped a tennis ball from a height of 60 meters. The time in seconds it takes for the ball to fall 60 feet is 0.25(radical60).
so, time is

we have to approximate it's value
First approximation set:
we know that

we can take sqrt all the sides

we can simplify it

Divide all sides by 4

Second approximation set:

Divide all sides by 4


Third approximation set:

Divide all sides by 4


so, we get
......Answer
We're not given the choices but we don't need them.
The only way this problem is tractable to a middle or high schooler is if the polynomial is perfect cube; a little thought yields

To find the inverse let's call f(x) x and call x y and solve for y.

![y-2 = \sqrt[3]{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y-2%20%3D%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%7D)
![y = 2 + \sqrt[3]{x}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=y%20%3D%202%20%2B%20%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%7D)
