assignment list. Alternately, you may ty sqrt 3 (x) as cuberoot (x) and shraising to the nth power as ^n, like x ^3 is typed x^3.
a) t sqrt (2/3) =4
b)5 sqrt (x + 1 )= 3
c) 2/3 = 2- 5x-3/x-1
2) Solve algebraically and check your potential solutions:
a) x sqrt x+2 = 0
b) What potential solution did you obtain? Explain why this is this not a
solution.
3) The volume of a cube is given by V = s ^3, where s is the length of a side.
Find the length of a side of a cube(round the answer to three decimal
places) if the volume is
a) 800 cm^3.
b) 500 cm^3
4) The formula to find the wind chill temperature is given by
W = 33 - (10.45+10SQRT (V) - V) (33 - T)
22
Where,
W is Wind Chill temperature (temperature with no wind)
T is actual temperature in Celcius
V is wind speeds in m/sec
Find the Wind Chill temperature given the following:
a) T =10^oC , v = 9m/sec
b) T = 0^o, v = 15m/sec
c) T = -10^0, v = 20m/sec

a) t sqrt (2/3) =4
Answer: t=2sqrt(6)
Show your work here: we multiply sqrt(2/3) on both sides: t*2/3=4*sqrt(2/3)
t*2/3=4*sqrt(2*3/(3*3))
t*2/3=4*sqrt(6)/3
t=2sqrt(6).
b)5 sqrt (x + 1 )= 3
Answer: x=-16/25
Show your work here: sqrt(x+1)=3/5
x+1=(3/5)^2
x=9/25-1=-16/25.
c) 2/3 = 2- 5x-3/x-1
Answer: x=5/11.
