Question 83934: I would appreciate some input on this. My solutions are way off.
The function f(x) = 29x^1/3
models the number of plant species, f(x), on the islands of the Galapagos in terms of the area, x, in square miles, of a particular island.
What is the area of a Galapagos island that has 87 species of plants?
What is the area of a Galapagos island that has 58 species of plants?

square miles.
I will let you solve the second part.
Good luck,
