Hey I saw this on shark tank and I'm trying to figure out

>>8060311
divide the two equations

>He does math with numbers

x^5 = a/k
x^2 = b/k^2

x^3 = x^5 / x^2 = (a/k) / (b/k^2) = a*k/b

wow
are you underage b&?
did you even go to middle school?
ever heard of algebra?
or are you bating?
Mods ban this underage
your answer is B btw. Just divide a by b

You guys are implying that one, x is a real number, and two, x is nonzero.

How do you know that x is not a matrix or other mathematical entity?

>>8060359
this guy has a point
But, whatever the type of the entities might be, wouldn't the same algebraic rules hold, provided that they stand for their usual meaning in the Real field?
If they were matrices and the operations were defined to satisfy the usual operations for addition, multiplication and exponentiation, wouldn't they behave just as if they were reals?
Pls no bully I don't know much linear/abstract algebra yet

>>8060375
No. For example, matrix multiplication is not commutative and not all non-zero matrices have inverses.

>>8060324
do they charge you for two seats on an airplane or does your massive ego fit in yours?
you think you're cool because you know something basic that somebody else doesn't?

>inb4 i'm bad at math
>I've taken all baby-tier math including proof based linear alg, diff eq, complex variables and fourier transforms, etc with a 4.0 so fuck off

>>8060322
protip: x^2 can be zero

>>8060446
Only true if a = b

>>8060375
>he does Abelian mathematics

>>8060559
> He calls it Abelian
why?

(∜(a/√b))^3
