Find the indicated real nth root(s) of a. n=3, a=729

9

Step-by-step explanation:

n=3, a=729

For any odd integer, n ; a will have only one real nth root which will be a positive integer.

Similarly, for any integer, n, that is > 1 ; related by the expression ;

p^n = a ; the nth root of a = p

Therefore,

If n = 3 ; a = 729

p^3 = 729

To obtain the value of p ; take the cube of both sides

(p^3)*1/3 = 729^1/3

p = 9

Hence, the real nth root of 729 is +9 when n = 3

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )
