Answer: 10^(1/2)</h3>
When we use an exponent of 1/2, it is the same as a square root. The more general rule is
In this case, we plug in x = 10.
The use of a fractional exponent is handy when you want to deal with things like cube roots on a calculator. This is because
![\sqrt[3]{x} = x^{1/3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7Bx%7D%20%3D%20x%5E%7B1%2F3%7D)
Many calculators don't have a button labeled ![\sqrt[3]{}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7B%7D)
but they have the button 
to allow fractional exponents.
X+y=8
2x^2-y=-5
elimination method means you link the 2 equations together to make one
these two already have y in the perfect form where you can cancel it out +y and -y so no need to perform any other action to a certain equation.. all you need to do is add them now
2x^2+x=3
If x represents the length of the box, then 42-x will be the girth. Since the largest area for a given girth is that of a square, the side length of the square cross section is (42 -x)/4.
The volume as a function of package length is then
.. v(x) = x((42-x)/4)^2
This has a maximum at x=14. The corresponding volume is 686 in^3.
320 has the same value as 32 tens.
