Answer: 17 or -18

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+x=306

x^2+x-306=0

(x-17)(x+18)=0

x-17=0

x=17

x+18=0

x=-18

..i think this is the right answer

I need the solution and the work for it... for each of the multiple choices.
Vlad1618 [11]

For this case we have the following equation:

x ^ 3 = 375

We must find the value of "x":

We apply cube root on both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent:

x = \sqrt [3] {375}

We can write 375 as 5 ^ 3 * 3

So:

x = \sqrt [3] {5 ^ 3 * 3}\\x = 5 \sqrt [3] {3}

Then, the correct options are:

x = \sqrt [3] {375}\\x = 5 \sqrt [3] {3}

Answer:

Option A and B

What is a true statement about negative exponents?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Raising something to a negative exponent is just taking the reciprocal of the amount.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume that you wanted to know what x^{-2} is.

To find it, you would take the reciprocal of the x amount. So x^{-2} becomes \frac{1}{x^{2}}.

This works because of the nature of exponents. Exponents represent the number of times you are multiplying a value by itself. So a^{3} would be equal to a · a · a. To increase the exponent, you increase the number of times the value is multiplied by itself: To increase a^{3} to a^{5}, you would have to multiply a with a^{3} two more times (a · a · a · a · a). To decrease the exponent, you must divide the value by itself. So to decrease a^{5} to a^{2}, you would have to divide a^{5} by a 3 times.

If the exponent is 0, the value is equal to 1. But you can still decrease the exponent into negative numbers. You just divide 1 by a the desired amount of times: \frac{1}{a^{3}} means that you are dividing 1 by a 3 times.

Hope this helps.
