Question 29836: The function f(x)= 29x to the 1/3 models the number of plant species, f(x), on the islands of the Galopagos in terms of the area, x, in square miles, of a particular island. Use the function to solve:
What is the area of a Galapagos Island that has 58 species of plants.
Can you get me started here? I have no idea of even where to begin.
Thanks in advance.

f(x) = where f(x) is the number of plant species on area x.

Given that number of plant species is 58, we have:

--> area is 8 square miles
