AI Thread Summary
To solve the equation x^(3/2) + (1+x^3)^(1/2), the user seeks to simplify it to a single term of x. The challenge lies in expanding the square root correctly without setting the equation to zero. A suggestion is made to isolate one term and square both sides, but the user clarifies that they are not looking for a solution equal to zero. Additionally, there is a reminder about the importance of not double posting in the forum. The discussion emphasizes the need for clarity in problem-solving approaches.

hi,

can anyone show me how to solve this:

x^(3/2) + (1+x^3)^(1/2)

i want to get it to so that there's only 1 term of x. but i don't know how to expand the squared root. any help is appreciated.

You have

\sqrt{x^3} + \sqrt{1+x^3} =0

??

put one member on the other side, square both side.
 
no, that's the problem. i don't have it "=0". i just have one to simplify the expression.
 
First of all, please do not double post. People will help you if you post once. Secondly, I have already responded to this post in another section.
 
Incidentally, that was here. That thread has been closed.
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is(Figure 2): F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
