1. x3 when x = 8
2. k3 when k = 2.5
SOLUTIONS
1. x3 = 83
2. k3 = 2.53 =
= (2.5)(2.5)(2.5)
= 512 =

9. Order of Magnitude the power of 10 nearest to the quantity
**HINT**
Think of the order of magnitude as rounding to the closest power of 10.
There are about 91,000 species of insect in the United States. What is the order of magnitude of the amount of insects in the United States?
The power of 10 closest to 91,000 is 100,000 or 10 to the 5th power.
