Example Question #1 : Exponents And Rational Numbers

Solve for .

$2^{x}= 64$

Possible Answers:

x=6

x=-6

x=5

$x=64^{2}$

x=64

Correct answer:

x=6

Explanation:

Since $2^{x}= 2^{6}$

Hence x=6

Example Question #91 : Exponents

Simplify:

$\sqrt[3]{x^{10}y^{8}z^{9}}$

Possible Answers:

$\sqrt[3]{xy^{2}}$

$x^{3}y^{2}z^{3}$

$x^{3}y^{2}z^{3}^{\sqrt[3]{xyz}}$

$x^{3}y^{3}z^{3}$

$x^{3}y^{2}z^{3}\sqrt[3]{xy^{2}}$

Correct answer:

$x^{3}y^{2}z^{3}\sqrt[3]{xy^{2}}$

Explanation:

$\sqrt[3]{x^{9}xy^{6}y^{2}z^{9}}=x^{3}y^{2}z^{3}\sqrt[3]{xy^{2}}$

Example Question #222 : Exponents

Solve for :

$\sqrt{x} -1= 4$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

From the equation one can see that

$\sqrt{x} = 5$

Hence must be equal to 25.

Example Question #3 : Exponential Ratios And Rational Numbers

$\log 3=a$

and

$\log 5=b$

Find $\log 15$

Possible Answers:

$b^{2}$

$a^{2}$

a+b

Correct answer:

a+b

Explanation:

$\log 15=\log (5\cdot 3)=\log 5+\log 3$

Hence the correct answer is a+b .

Example Question #4 : Exponential Ratios And Rational Numbers

Solve for .

$\log (x+3)+\log x=1$

Possible Answers:

$5\ or\ -2$

$-5\ or\ 2$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Use the rules of logarithms to combine terms.

$\log (x(x+3))=1$

Hence, $x(x+3)=10^{1}$

$x^{2}+3x=10$

x^2+3x-10=0

By fatoring we get (x+5)(x-2)=0

Hence $x=-5\ or\ 2$ .

However, you cannot take the logarithm of a negative number. Thus, the only value for is .
