Question

Find the value of the monomial. 5x^3 for x=0.5

Answer 1

0.625

Explanation:

First, you do 0.5^3=0.125

then 0.125 * 5 = 0.625

Answer 2

The correct answer is 166.375 or 166.4 when rounded to the nearest tenth.

Explanation:

If x = 0.5, then 5x^3 = 5.5^3.

5.5^3 is the same as multiplying 5.5 by itself 3 times.

5.5 x 5.5 x 5.5 = 166.375 or 166.4 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
