no :/
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it is very odd where they have placed the parenthisis
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I think it has something to do with the 3 being outside the parenthesis but still underneath the radical.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah /:
OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok using 5 in place of x I got 2.236067977, let me see if I can reverse engineer it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry, x^1/2 still makes sense
OpenStudy (anonymous):
even when I used 5 for x I get the equivalent of x^1/2

oh well, it's ok. thank you.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2.236067977^6 = 125 and that verifies it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2.236067977 = 5^1/2
2.236067977^6 = 125
5^3 = 125
x=5
it will work for any value of x
