Solve for x. 6^(x/2)=5^(1-x)

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

x = log5 / ( (1/2)log6 + log5)

    approximately  0.642

Discussion:

Take the logarithm of both sides ( to "pull" the exponents down so we can work on them!)

6^(x/2)) = 5^(1-x)

log ( 6^(x/2)) = log (5^(1-x))      =>   using log (a^n) = n log a

(x/2) log6 = (1-x) log5               =>   add x log5 to both sides

(x/2) log6 + xlog5 =  log5 - xlog5 + xlog5   =>

(x/2) log6 + xlog5 = log5          => factor x from the lhs

x (  (1/2) log6 + log5) = log5     =>

x = log5 / ( (1/2)log6 + log5)    

The above can be further simplified but that's as far as I want to take it.The value of x is approx equal to  0.642


Thank you,

MrB

Simplify g^1/2 * g^1/2 using the radical form.
guapka [62]

Answer:

√g *√g = g

Step-by-step explanation:

recall that any number or variable to the power of 1/2 can also be written as that variable or number under the radical.

So, we then have

√g * √g

Recall that when we multiply radicals, we multiply what is under our radicals together and then combine them under a new radical

√g * √g = √(g * g)

This gives us √(g²)

recall that the square root of a number or variable squared will merely result in the number or variable by itself (as these are reciprocate equations)

√(g²) = g
