Question

what is an exponent with a prime number as a base and it equals 50?

Answer 1

1.

Answer 2

\[50^1 = 50\]

Answer 3

1 is not prime

Answer 4

hmm, right.

Answer 5

i really need help on my homework

Answer 6

what is a exponent with a prime number as a base and equals 50?

Answer 7

so what needs to be prime the number(x) or the exponent(e)?

\[x ^{e}\]

Answer 8

the base of the exponent needs to be prime

Answer 9

help

Answer 10

so the x in the above equation?

Answer 11

\[2^1 \ \times 25\]

Answer 12

ok thanks.

Answer 13

wait does that equal 50?

Answer 14

its 2 *25 which does equal 25 but I dont think its what you are looking for

Answer 15

it is not i needs to equal 50.

Answer 16

corey can you help?

Answer 17

does the exponent have to be a whole number?

Answer 18

yes if you have a whole number exponent that would be great but it does not have to be.

Answer 19

the replys take forever

Answer 20

because you could set it up like so:

\[2^{x} = 50\]

because 2 is prime and 50 is what you need you would solve for x

which is ln(50)/ln(2) = 5.6438

Answer 21

no but i need to know what x is

Answer 22

x is 5.6438
which would give you 49.99 rounded up is 50

Answer 23

cant be rounded

Answer 24

ok x would be ln(50)/ln(2) which gives you 50 exactly when the base is 2

Answer 25

so what would the answer look like?

Answer 26

\[2^{\ln(50)/\ln(2)}\]

Answer 27

is that an exponent?

Answer 28

yes

Answer 29

aww man i have to go eat hurry type

Answer 30

you could set it up for many primes that way, but the exponent would change
