Question

Find the missing factor. Write your answer in exponential form.

\[1=?*3^5\]

Answer 1

Just solve for the ? like you would for x, divide both sides by 3^5\[\Large \frac{ 1 }{3^5 }=?\]

Answer 2

did this help? ^

Answer 3

Let's make the ? be x.\[1=a\times 3^5\]\[\frac{1}{3^5}=a\]\[a=0.0041152263\]\[a\approx0.004\]I don't know if you need units but add them if you do.

Answer 4

I mean make the ? be a, sorry.
You could also write the answer another way:\[1=a\times3^5\]\[\frac{1}{3^5}=a\]\[a=3^{-5}\]
