How to convert base two to base three​

Mathematics

Consider this example: say we want to convert <em>x</em> = 11 0101 1001₂ to base 3.

The binary expansion of <em>x</em> is

<em>x</em> = 1×2⁹ + 1×2⁸ + 1×2⁶ + 1×2⁴ + 1×2³ + 1×2⁰

which in base 10 reduces to

<em>x</em> = 512 + 256 + 64 + 16 + 8 + 1 = 857

Recall the first several powers of 3:

3⁰ = 1; 3¹ = 3; 3² = 9; 3³ = 27; 3⁴ = 81; 3⁵ = 243; 3⁶ = 729

Now it's a matter of computing quotients and remainders. Pick the largest power of 3 that fits into the target number, then check the remainder and repeat.

• How many times does the 729 go into 857? 1 time, and it leaves a remainder of 128, or

857 = 1×729 + 128 = 1×3⁶ + 128

• How many times does 81 go into 128? Also 1 time, so

128 = 1×81 + 47 = 1×3⁴ + 47

• How many times does 27 go into 47? Also 1 time,

47 = 1×27 + 20 = 1×3³ + 20

• How many times does 9 go into 20? 2 times,

20 = 18 + 2 = 2×9 + 2 = 2×3² + 2

• How many times does 1 go into 2? Also 2 times,

2 = 2 + 1 = 2×1 + 0 = 2×3⁰

So we found

857 = 1×3⁶ + 1×3⁴ + 1×3³ + 2×3² + 2×3⁰

which is the ternary expansion of <em>x</em>,

<em>x</em> = 1 011 202₃

Komok [63]

Answer:

y=1/3x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

the perpendicular slope is  1/3 so y+2=1/3(x-6)

y+2=1/3x-2

y=1/3x-4

What is the solution to 6x^2 + 2x + 4 = 0?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Step 1) Divide 6 and 4 (the last 2 numbers) and bring everything else down

<em>6x^24x+2x+4</em>

Step 2) Place in parentheses

<em>(6x^24x)+(2x+4)</em>

Step 3) Figure out what you can take out of each parentheses.

**In the first one, you can take out 6x because both numbers have x and 6 is the largest number 6 and 24 can go into.**

**In the second one, you can only take out 2 because 2 is the largest number that goes into 2 and 4.**

Step 4) You will know you did it correctly when the parentheses match up

<em>6x(x+4) + 2(x+4)</em> <<< this is how it should look

Answer: <em>(6x+2)(x+4)</em>
