Wait, isn’t x just -10 if x^3 is not 1000?
yes, it is
that is a very long way to write -10
What an extremely unnecessary explanation. As a math teacher I would have deducted points for this answer.
“show your work”
Malicious compliance intensifies
Unless I was in that clas where we had to write mathematical proofs. I HATED those. Sure, you solved the question but write out this complicated reason for why your answer is the correct answer.
No definition what values are suitable for x.
x has to be -10, right? Or am I missing something?
Yeah, I think the point is that the person answering was wrong/over complicating. If x=10i, then x^2 would be -100 (or potentially -10 depending on what you think the ^2 is applied to).
They said x=10i^2, not 10i. Difference is it equals -10, and they chose not to simplify.
Depends on what are the allowed values for x are. Real numbers, complexe numbers, binary or I made up my own numbers ;)
