Algebra ->  Radicals -> SOLUTION: Solve the equation for B {{{Y= root (6,(B/Q ))- 3}}} options are (Y+3)^6 x Q (Y+3)^1/6 x Q (Y-3)^6 x Q (Y-3)^1/6 x Q x = multiply and the 6 in the problem is the sma      Log On


   

Question 442760: Solve the equation for B
Y=+root+%286%2C%28B%2FQ+%29%29-+3
options are
(Y+3)^6 x Q
(Y+3)^1/6 x Q
(Y-3)^6 x Q
(Y-3)^1/6 x Q
x = multiply
and the 6 in the problem is the small number before the square....not multiplied by it.
Can someone pleas show me how to work this problem! Thanks

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
try this
it is not a square root but a sixth root
square root is only for the second power.
Y=+root+%286%2C%28B%2FQ+%29%29-+3
add 3 to both sides
Y%2B3=+root+%286%2C%28B%2FQ+%29%29
%28Y%2B3%29%5E6=+B%2FQ
Q%2A%28Y%2B3%29%5E6=+B
which is the first
option
(Y+3)^6 * Q
never use x for multiplication use * which is over the 8 on the keyboard
