Algebra.Com's Answer #218051 by blwinbbbles(106)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! a fraction as an exponetial indicates a root...so that 1/2 is the square root, 1/3 is the cubic root, 1/4 is the 4th root...etc.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so start by simplifing the equations\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3/8 + 10/16 times the cubic root of -8\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6/16 + 10/16 times -2 (-2 is the cubic root of -8) \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "16/16 * -2 \n" ); document.write( "1 * -2 = -2\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the answer is -2 \n" ); document.write( " |
