  1. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  2. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  3. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
    +close
  4. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  5. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  6. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

a = 1, b = 80

#

$\sqrt[3]{80} = a\sqrt[3]{b}$

well

#

if a = 1

#

my brain

#

well there has to be more things

#

there are infinite a and b for this

vague plover
#

cube it

#

80 = ba³

#

b = 80/a³

#

$a = \sqrt[3]{80/b}$

can be

#

10 = 80/2³

#

It wants integer answers ig

vague plover
#

express a in terms of b and vice versa

vague plover
#

so divisors of 80

#

,w 80 divisors

vague plover
#

the cube ones

#

1 and 8

#

then take the cbrt

#

1 and 2

#

a values

#

and find a using b = 80/a³

#

yeah it’s easy

#

no wait

#

u understood?

#

cube both sides

#

1, 80 and 2, 10

#

mmm

#

u have the question?

#

a photo or print

#

send pls

#

1

#

…

#

t

#

t+1

#

t+2

surely a = 2, b = 10

vague plover
#

there are two integer solutions

tender knoll
#

because although a= 1 and b = 80 is valid you haven't simplified it

vague plover
#

and negative too

vague plover
#

clearly

#

it’s this he said

tender knoll
vague plover
#

he/she

#

-2 cbrt -10

#

,w -2 times cubic root of -10

untold voidBOT
tender knoll
#

fair I forgot that negative is valid for cube root

vague plover
#

yes

#

for simplicity

#

no

tender knoll
#

other way around

vague plover
#

a = 2, b = 10
