Please write out the exact words :)

4. zepdrix

Is the expression this? $$\Large\rm \frac{1}{2}n^3$$ or this? $$\Large\rm \frac{1}{2n^3}$$

5. Firejay5

@zepdrix It's the first one

6. skullpatrol

7. Firejay5

@skullpatrol is there another answer that will work?

8. skullpatrol

Many...

9. skullpatrol

You can say n cubed, the cube of n, n to the third, etc, etc...

10. skullpatrol

Also one half of n cubed

11. Firejay5

like half of n cubed would work

12. skullpatrol

Yes that works.

13. skullpatrol

That's why I asked for the exact words, in questions like these.

14. Firejay5

didn't I do that, it was at the top of the comment box

15. skullpatrol

I meant write out the words you would use to express the symbols 1/2 and n^3.

16. skullpatrol

I could express 1/2 as the reciprocal of two, right?

17. skullpatrol

Also, n^3 could be read as the third power of n .

18. Firejay5

oh okay gotcha

19. skullpatrol

Great questions :-)
