Answer:
On the surface, it seems easy. Can you think of the integers for x, y, and z so that x³+y³+z³=8? Sure. One answer is x = 1, y = -1, and z = 2. But what about the integers for x, y, and z so that x³+y³+z³=42?
That turned out to be much harder—as in, no one was able to solve for those integers for 65 years until a supercomputer finally came up with the solution to 42. (For the record: x = -80538738812075974, y = 80435758145817515, and z = 12602123297335631. Obviously.)
Step-by-step explanation:
An exponential function has a graph that is a smooth curve; it either increases at an ever increasing rate or decreases at an ever increasing rate. The only graph that fits these characteristics is the first one.
Step-by-step explanation:
the product of −1 and −3
(-1)×(-3)
= 3
Assuming that the 1/2 is to be distributed; slope would be x or 1 and the y intercept would be -4
