consider the property $(a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}$
rugged sparrow
#

does he know what degree means?

shadow bear
#

But what do I make of f(x^3)

shadow bear
main ginkgo
#

u can substitute a in place of x^3

shadow bear
#

What is f(x ^3) though

#

That's the part my brain can't process

main ginkgo
#

just used as a variable

shadow bear
#

Like P(x) ?

main ginkgo
#

it couldve been g(x^3)

#

exactly

#

u have to convert the cubic variable into linear

#

which means substituting a in place of x^3

#

in both the function and also the eqn

#

f(a) = 2a^{3} - 3a + 5

shadow bear
main ginkgo
#

no no no

#

it would be f(a) = 2a^{3} - 3a + 5

#

u have to suppose that a = x^3

shadow bear
#

How

main ginkgo
#

u have to SUPPOSE

shadow bear
#

BUT WHY

#

I did not get itt

#

Oh wait

main ginkgo
#

so that the function f(x^3) which is a cubic function can be converted into linear function which would be f(a)

shadow bear
#

Waittt

#

Oh got it so basically I'm substituing x^3 by a in the eqn

main ginkgo
#

exactly

shadow bear
#

Ohh cool thnx !!!

main ginkgo
#

much love
