Example Question #3371 : Algebra Ii

Convert  to base 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

We know that exponents raised to the negative power will generate fractions. 

We also know that  is divisible by .

 

However, since this a fraction, we then have the following:

Example Question #3372 : Algebra Ii

Convert  to base 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If fractions are raised to a positive integer exponents, we know we will generate fractions; however, if a fraction is raised by a negative integer exponent, our answer will be whole number instead.

For example: 

The following rule has been used in this scenario:

 

In this formula,  is a positive exponent raising the base .

We know .

Since we are dealing with a integer and converting to fractional base, we know we need to have a negative exponent.
