| Define <math>x\otimes y=x^3-y</math>. What is <math>h\otimes (h\otimes h)</math>?
| |
| | |
| <math> \mathrm{(A) \ } -h\qquad \mathrm{(B) \ } 0\qquad \mathrm{(C) \ } h\qquad \mathrm{(D) \ } 2h\qquad \mathrm{(E) \ } h^3 </math>
| |
| == Solution ==
| |
| Plugging our values in the function, we have
| |
| | |
| <center><math>\displaystyle h^3-h</math></center>
| |
| | |
| Plugging in the function once more, we have
| |
| | |
| <center><math>\displaystyle h^3-(h^3-h)=h,
| |
| (C)</math></center>
