A number is squared. The result is squared, then that result is squared. The final number is 6561. What was the original number?

MissTica

The original number is 3.

I actually began with the guess-and-check method, but seeing as that won't always work, let's go over the formal way. To get the original number, you first need to determine how many times the number was squared.

To make it simple, let's use x to focus on the exponents. The number was squared 3 times, so x^2, x^2, x^2. Basically, you need to multiply. 2 * 2 * 2 = 8. So, now find the 8th root of 6561 (depending on the calculator, you can just input it). You should come up with 3. Let me know if this part confuses you.

To find the next 2 numbers, you just need to continue the pattern.

6561^2 = 43,046,721

43,046,721^2 = 1,853,020,188,851,841

To my knowledge, which means this could be wrong, they're both perfect squares. Since the number to get them both were whole numbers, they should both have a square root that equals a whole number.

How do I solve without s calculator?

baherus [9]

You could solve it ( without a graph) in 2 easy ways :

1 use the equation that you have written in pencil and solve for y

y=3=-x+4
y=-x +1

Or you could use the point slop form after you find the y intercept y=mx+b

-3=4(-1)+b
b= 1

So the answer would be y= -x +1

Hope this help of it does feel free to give the brainliest

What is 0.25 divided by 1.075?

timurjin [86]

0.25 divided by 1.075 is 0.2325..
But I think 1.075 divided by 0.25 sounds more right, in case that is the problem then the answer is 4.3
