Find the solution(s) to each of these equations, or explain why there is no solution.
For each equation, decide how many solutions it has and explain how you know.
The volume of a regular tetrahedron (a pyramid made from 4 equilateral triangles) with side length \(s\) is given by the formula \(V = \frac{1}{6\sqrt{2}} \boldcdot s^3\).
Solve this equation for \(s\) to get the side length in terms of the volume.
If the volume of a regular tetrahedron is \(18\sqrt{2}\) cubic centimeters, what is the length of one of the sides of the tetrahedron?
Here are the steps Tyler took to solve the equation \(\sqrt{x+3}=\text-5\).
\(\begin{align} \sqrt{x+3} & =\text-5 \\ x+3 &=25 \\ x &=22 \\ \end{align} \)
Complete the table. Use powers of 16 in the top row and radicals or rational numbers in the bottom row.
| \(16^1\) | \(16^{\frac13}\) | \(16^{\text-1}\) | |||
| 4 | 1 | \(\frac14\) | \(\frac{1}{16}\) |
Which are the solutions to the equation \(x^3=35\)?
\(\sqrt[3]{35}\)
\(\text-\sqrt[3]{35}\)
both \(\sqrt[3]{35}\) and \(\text-\sqrt[3]{35}\)
The equation has no solutions.
