Hi Everyone,
I have to find k for the equation 1000=10xk^.5xk
when I'm simplifying k^.5 x k does it become k^1.5 or 2k^1.5
thanks in advance :)

dumbcow · Answer

add the exponents
.5 + 1 = 1.5
so the 1st one

ha ha i over thought this question so bad. I thought he was writing 

100=xk^(0.5xk)    not    100=xk^(0.5)xk    ha ha ha

dumbcow · Answer

yeah i can see that
cj19,
in future use parenthesis or * symbol for multiplication instead of x

anonymous · Answer

thanks everyone, I will set it out more clearly next time :)

dumbcow · Answer

thanks
were you able to solve for k

anonymous · Answer

no worries its clear now because thinking it was and x^x situation is just silly. ;)

anonymous · Answer

I think so i got 21.54434, not too sure if that's correct though, in my workings I did $$\sqrt[1.5]{100}= k$$

anonymous · Answer

k^1.5
