I think it is really interesting. It looks much more difficult than it really needs to be. прочитайте больше ..

First multiply both sides by x^2
then divide both sides by 2
you will now have
0=x^3 - 216
the cube root of 216 is 6
0=x^3 - 6^3
This is a factorization that you are probably supposed to know
0= (x+6)(x^2-6x+36)
Can you finish it?

do you mean 81 / ((100^2) /2 )?

Do you mean find the cubed root of 240?

Just press the cubed root button then 240
On some calculators you will need to press the inv button first.

Is this what you wanted?

cube root of 240 = 6.214 (correct to 3 decimal places)

x+3y=-5
First you need to be able to recognise that it is a line
then
The easiest way to graph it is by working out 2 points
Graph them and then draw in the line
If you choose x=0 you get 3y=-5 so y=-5/3 (0,-5/3)
If you choose y=0 you get x=-5 (-5,0)

The absolute value of anything has to be positive
Therefore it is a nonsense question and there can be no answers.

I think I've got it

The speed of light is 299,792,458 metres per second
Blue light : 459 x 10 ^-9 metres/wavelength

frequency is measured in Hertz which is wavelengths per second
(m/s) divided by (m/wavelengths) gives (wavelengths per second) The metres cancel out.

So frequency
=wavelengths / sec
=speed of light / wavelength
=299,792,458 / (459 x 10 ^-9)
=6.5314261 x 10 ¹⁴ Hertz
=653,143 GHz (to the nearest GHz)

I'm pretty sure that this is correct.

I won't do your question but I will do a similar one and you can copy the technique.

1362.98

There needs to be just one non zero number in front of the decimal point: 1.36298
I have moved the decimal point 3 places, so the power will be 3
If it is a little number, less than 1, then the power will be negative
But, this is a big number, more than 9 so the power will be positive, that is, +3
so the answer is
1362.98 = 1.36298 x 10^3

i hope this helps and that you learn from it.

y=x squared is a concave up parabola with the vertex at the origin.
When you plus two you just raise every point up by 2. So the vertex moves up to (0,2)
