Answer 1

Answer:

Option B. A = (5/6)^-⅛

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above, we obtained:

(5/6)ˣ = A¯⁸ˣ

We can obtain the value of A as follow:

(5/6)ˣ = A¯⁸ˣ

Cancel x from both side

5/6 = A¯⁸

Recall:

M¯ⁿ = 1/Mⁿ

A¯⁸ = 1/A⁸

Thus,

5/6 = 1/A⁸

Cross multiply

5 × A⁸ = 6

Divide both side by 5

A⁸ = 6/5

Take the 8th root of both sides

A = ⁸√(6/5)

Recall

ⁿ√M = M^1/n

Thus,

⁸√(6/5) = (6/5)^⅛

Therefore,

A = (6/5)^⅛

Recall:

(A/B)ⁿ = (B/A)¯ⁿ

(6/5)^⅛ = (5/6)^-⅛

Therefore,

A = (5/6)^-⅛
