## anonymous 4 years ago I need help putting the answer to this problem in my hw website... it has to be without radicals. instead you use ^(1/2) and parenthesis.

2. Hero

I believe you posted this yesterday as well.... Let's have a look

3. anonymous

4. anonymous

use <sup></sup> for superscripts in html you can look up other html math tags

5. anonymous

what?

6. anonymous

i dont think you do that on my hw site

7. anonymous

just ( ) and / and ^

8. anonymous

if you have access to the code you can use x<sup>2</sup> to raise x to the 2nd power for example

9. Hero

are you sure you can't approximate the answer?

10. anonymous

dont know

11. anonymous

im using a whole new site for this math class

12. Hero

cyster might be on the right track with squaring both sides...let's see what this leads to

13. anonymous

so what would the answer look like?

14. anonymous

6<sub>2 + 8<sub>2 / 14 <sub>2 ???

15. Hero

Nope, it doesn't get us anywhere. By the way, how do you know that x has to be a whole number?

16. anonymous

i have no idea

17. Hero

Approximate x I get: $x = \frac{\sqrt{7}(\sqrt{3}+2)}{7}$ which approximates to x = 1.41

18. Hero

Try that and see what happens

19. Hero

Can you input fractions and roots? If you can, do that instead.

20. anonymous

ok 1.41 is right

21. anonymous

how did u get to the step you have above?

22. anonymous

you there?

23. Hero

algebraic steps

24. anonymous

could you show me?

25. Hero

vyew?

26. anonymous

sure

27. Hero
