calculusfunctions · Answer

That's right @Jonask but I would have preferred for @lawls to come to that conclusion. You have to teach. Not just give out answers.

anonymous · Answer

i am sorry i'll try next time

calculusfunctions · Answer

@Jonask No worries.

calculusfunctions · Answer

@lawls Do you know what to do next after the step @Jonask suggested?

calculusfunctions · Answer

As @Jonask said$$5^{\frac{ 1 }{ x }}=m$$First do you @lawls understand how @Jonask arrived at that step? If you do understand, then what do you think the next step should be? Keep in mind that we are asked to find the value of 5m. From @Jonask 's step do we know something now, and if so what? Look at his step carefully.

calculusfunctions · Answer

@Jonask do you think we can perhaps give @lawls a hint without actually giving away the answer?

anonymous · Answer

sorry guys i was offline but i'm here now

anonymous · Answer

x radical 5 = m right?

anonymous · Answer

what's the next step?

anonymous · Answer

@lawls multiply both sides by 5 to get 5m on the right side.

calculusfunctions · Answer

Do you understand why you have to multiply both sides by 5?
