Second problem a and b

Ingy · May 25, 2016, 10:36:21 AM

This is a bad thread

Desty · May 25, 2016, 10:38:50 AM

Don't feel too bad if you can't solve it. Just means you gotta dig your nose into a math book :^)

I got the fuck out of there so fast, I've never seen so many things I couldn't decipher all together at once

Desty · May 25, 2016, 10:42:06 AM

alright, I'll solve b and you do a

B) x=8
2x2=4
2x4=8

See? It's super simple

Literally first grade high school math for STEM

Ian · May 25, 2016, 10:45:27 AM

A. kind of stumps me, it's like the three fourths power or two thirds, somewhere in there. Am I supposed to use decimal for that? B. is 8.

guys, come on...

Ian · May 25, 2016, 10:49:02 AM

I haven't taken a high level math course in almost two years and I have zero interest in STEM when I eventually go back to college.

No work shown. Zero points.

Winy · May 25, 2016, 11:25:36 AM

a). 5^x = 3

You just take the log of both sides and solve for x

x * Log(5) = Log(3)

So x is Log(3)/Log(5)

If they want an approximate decimal, apparently that's about 0.6826

b). x^1/3 = 2

Just take the 1/3 root of 2, which is just the first root of 2³

So it's just 8.

Good job, Winy! Here's the follow-up problem

I will change my name to whatever you want for 5 days if you solve and show your work for the next problem I wrote down

I'm confused, mostly because I can't actually read the problem in the work sheet.

10^-x... Equals what? I'm not sure what it's asking.

Oh, duh, I should've been able to figure that out on my own lmao.

So Log(x) = 0

And that means x is just 1.

So 10^-x becomes 10^-1, which is just 1/10.
