Solve the equation for the unknown variable
b^3=−8
what dose b =

b = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the cube root of both sides of the equation.

b^3 = (-2)^3

b = -2

There are two other complex solutions. It isn't clear from the problem statement whether you are interested in those or not. They are 1±i√3. They can be found by factoring b^3+8 = 0 as (b+2)(b^2 -2b +4) = 0. They are the roots of the quadratic.

answer:

sometimes

*i think

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2
