Say that you're thinking of number x

You multiply it by 8, and have 8x

You add -1 (i.e., you subtract 1) and have 8x-1

This equals -17, so you have

8x-1=-17

Add 1 to both sides

8x=-16

Divide both sides by 8:

x=-2

So, you were thinking of -2.

The x-intercept is the number without the variable.

So, #1's correct answer would be A. because -10 is not greater than -2.

What is the cube root of -729a^9b^6?<br> -9a^3b^2<br> -9a^2b^<br> -8a^3b^2<br> -8a^2b^3
timurjin [86]

Answer:

= 9a^3b^2

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt[3]{-729a^9b^6} =

= ((-9)^3a^9b^6)^{\frac{1}{3}

= (-9)^{3 \times \frac{1}{3}} \times a^{9 \times \frac{1}{3}} \times b^{6 \times \frac{1}{3}}

= (-9)^{1} \times a^{3} \times b^{2}

= -9a^3b^2
