What calculation can be used to find the value of p in the equation p^3 =8

<u>Cube</u><u> </u><u>Root</u>

{p}^{3}  = 8 \\ p =  \sqrt[3]{8}  \\ p =  \sqrt[3]{ 2\times 2 \times 2}  \\ p = 2

<u>Formula</u>

{p}^{3}  - 8 = 0

Use the following formula.

{x}^{3}  -  {y}^{3}  = (x - y)( {x}^{2} + xy +  {y}^{2}  )

(p - 2)( {p}^{2}  + 2p + 4)

The expression p²+2p+4 has the discriminant less than 0 ( D < 0 ).

Thus, remove the expression and leave only p-2

p - 2 = 0 \\ p = 2

<u>Substitution</u>

The most obvious number that multiplies itself three times and equal 8 is 2.

Substitute p = 2

{p}^{3}  = 8 \\  {2}^{3}  = 8 \\ 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8 \\ 8 = 8

The equation is true, thus 2 is the answer.

garri49 [273]
Write a proportion first, change over original, like this:
 8      x
16   100
(I got 8 because the difference between 24 and 16 is 8 and I got 100 because percents are out of 100.)
Cross multiply 8 by 100 and you get 800.
Divide 800 by 16 and you get 50.
It changed by 50%

Answer: 1) 8/15 2) 2 4/9 3) -13/45

Step-by-step explanation:

1/5 + 1/3 = 6/30 + 10/30 = 16/30 = 8/15

2 1/9 + 1/3 = 19/9 + 3/9 = 22/9 = 2 4/9

1/9 - 2/5 = 5/45 - 18/45 = -13/45

stealth61 [152]

41 hour = 60 minutes

 45 min / 60 min = 0.75 hour

170 mph * 0.75 hr = 127.5 miles flown

127.5 - 12.5 = 115

 the plane is 115 miles north of the city
