Question

Please, for the love of god/your loved ones, read this before asking a question:
1. Use common sense. Don't be lazy.
2. Wolfram|Alpha is your friend. For graphing questions, it can draw better than any of us.
3. Do not expect answers to be given by any helper. Conversely, do not give out answers without explanation.
4. Craft your question as clear as possible. We won't understand unclear English.
5. If you are given instructions, read it. Do not ignore it and say it did not solve your problem.

Now a question: 1+4 in base 5 is?

Answer 1

6. Do not link to online school questions. We can't access private content.
7. Use common sense.
8. Don't be lazy.

*Unclear English or math formulas or graphs.

Answer 2

Whats the question?

Answer 3

@DCaddi123 Read carefully ;)

Answer 4

tricky

Answer 5

I think ti would be 10 base 5...what did you all get?

Answer 6

1 + 4 is a group of "5", but in base 5 we have no single character symbol for a "5". What we have is ONE group of "5" and "0" units:

10

Answer 7

Bases are tricky...i did these when I was in 8th grade

Answer 8

Just as the answer is 10, this illustrated by counting:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 20, ..., 42, 43, 44, 100, 101, etc.

Answer 9

Each position is represented by 5^0, 5^1, 5^2, similar to base 10 where each position is represented by 10^0, 10^1, 10^2, etc.

Answer 10

All good now?

Answer 11

@tyteen4a03 ?

Answer 12

9. Stick with the helper.

Answer 13

I didn't quite understand the question. if it's 5^(4+1) then it's 3125, if it's log5(4+1) then it's 1

Answer 14

log 5, @sparik1997

Answer 15

Look at my counting example if you are unfamiliar with bases. It's bases, not logs.

Answer 16

I'm just not a native speaker, otherwise I would have understood

Answer 17

np, the question has already been answered.

Answer 18

I second this.
And I think the answer is 10?

Answer 19

Oh, right. Explanation.
Bases are read from right to left...
Err... a drawing might be better.
The first row just shows how to get the second row. Each space is the base to an exponent + 1. (Starting at exponent = 0).
The second row is what the base is based off of.
For the third row, ...ick. More complicated. Because the answer to 4+1 is 5, One 5 and zero 1's represents "5". So when you say "10" it really means no ones, and 1 five. Which is 5. That's not really a very clear example though. Let's say I wanted 12 in base 5. I would need 2 ones, and 2 fives. (1+1+5+5=12). That would mean that in base 5, 12(base10) would be written 22.
Heh. I wrote a really long explanation to a question/problem that was answered long ago and explained already. Whoops. Oh well.
