<h3>Answer:  6</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Rule: If a set has n elements in it, then it will have 2^n subsets.

For example, there are n = 3 elements in the set {a,b,c}. This means there are 2^n = 2^3 = 8 subsets. The eight subsets are listed below.

  1. {a,b,c} .... any set is a subset of itself
  2. {a,b}
  3. {a,c}
  4. {b,c}
  5. {a}
  6. {b}
  7. {c}
  8. { } ..... the empty set

Subsets 2 through 4 are subsets with exactly 2 elements.  Subsets 5 through 7 are singletons (aka sets with 1 element). The last subset is the empty set which is a subset of any set. You could use the special symbol \varnothing to indicate the empty set.

For more information, check out concepts relating to the power set.

-------------------

The problem is asking what value of n will make 2^n = 64 true.

You could guess-and-check your way to see that 2^n = 64 has the solution n = 6.

Another approach is to follow these steps.

2^n = 64\\\\2^n = 2^6\\\\n = 6

Which is fairly trivial.

Or you can use logarithms to solve for the exponent.

2^n = 64\\\\\text{Log}\left(2^n\right)=\text{Log}\left(64\right)\\\\n*\text{Log}\left(2\right)=\text{Log}\left(64\right)\\\\n=\frac{\text{Log}\left(64\right)}{\text{Log}\left(2\right)}\\\\n\approx\frac{1.80617997398389} {0.30102999566399} \ \text{ ... using base 10 logs}\\\\n\approx5.99999999999983\\\\

Due to rounding error, we don't land exactly on 6 even though we should.

Dmitriy789 [7]

The answer is 7.75. Since there can not be 7.75 days, you can round that to 8 and say that it's almost 8 days. Hope this helps!

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

x=160°

since the sum of angles of the shape measures 540°

by summing up the values, we have

3x=480 divide both sides by 3

x=160°
