Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
4 ^(1/2x) = 256
Rewriting 256 as a power of 4
4 ^(1/2x) = 4^4
Since the bases are the same, the exponents are the same
1/2x = 4
Multiply each side by 2
1/2x *2 = 4*2
x=8
The answer I believe is b
PART A:
Scientific notation is given by A×10ⁿ where A is any number in a unit and 'n' is an integer.
0.000025 = 2.5×10⁻⁵
PART B:
Diameter of grain of sand ÷ Diameter of human body average cell
(2×10⁻⁴) ÷ (1×10⁻⁵)
(2÷1) × (10⁻⁴÷10⁻⁵)
2 × (10⁻⁴ ⁻ ⁻⁵) = 2 × 10⁽⁻⁴⁺⁵⁾ = 2 × 10¹ = 20 times bigger
PART C:
The diameter of human body's average cell in nanometer
1 × 10⁻⁵ metre = 1 × 10⁻⁵ × 10⁹ = 1 × 10⁽⁻⁵⁺⁹⁾ = 1 × 10⁴ nanometer
PART D:
Smallest bacteria = 300 nanometer
300 nm = 300 ÷ 10⁹ = (3 × 10²) ÷ 10⁹ = 3 × (10²⁻⁹) = 3 × 10⁻⁷ meter
PART E:
Laws of exponents that are applied in scientific notation is
xᵇ × xᵃ = x⁽ᵇ⁺ᵃ⁾
xᵇ ÷ xᵃ = x⁽ᵇ⁻ᵃ⁾
Answer:
5x=55
Divide both sides by 5 to solve for x
5x/5=55/5
x=11
