calculator for this one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i'll take 3.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
unless you mean
\[x^5=32\] in which case
\[x=2\] because
\[2^5=32\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
27^(2/3) is the same as 3^2 is the same as 9 .. so 9 is left side of equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 9=x^(1/2)
square both sides to find x
x=81 ..............ans.3.

nope, it's 31 aha!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for the first one:
x=31^(1/5).............ans1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and for the second one first take the cube root of -64=-4
then raise it to the power of 4 which is 256
x=256

well, that's what the teacher has on the paper, -__-"
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you have to first take the 4th root of -64 and you can't take an even root of a negative number
OpenStudy (anonymous):
unless you are dealing with complex numbers.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes, not likely something raised to the fourth power will be negative
