Question

The difference of 5 times x cubed and 2

Answer 1

Answer:
`5x^(3) - 2`

Explanation:

In mathematical language, when we are asked for the difference of two numbers, we have to make a subtraction.

In addition we are given the two terms we have to substract:

5 times x cubed and 2

When in written language we read "a number times another number" this means there is a multiplication. And when that "number is cubed", this means the number is elevated to the power of three.

Hence

5 times x cubed is
`5x^(3)`

And The difference of 5 times x cubed and 2 is
`5x^(3) - 2`
