Question 131122: The product of a number and the square of another number is 32. If x is the number that is squared, write the sum S of the two numbers as a function of the number x.
S(x)= Answer by ptaylor(2198) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x=the other number that is squared
And let y=the first number
Now we are told that x^2*y=32
solve for y:
y=32/x^2
The sum S(x) of these two numbers is:
S(x)=x+32/x^2 can this be simplified more?
