It's 9 digits.
The 1st can be one of 10 (assuming it can be zero).
Then 1 of 9, 1 of 8, etc
--> 10*9*8*7...
= 10! (10 factorial)

Solve: (x^2 - 5x +5)^(x^2 - 9x +20) = 1
------------
Either (x^2 - 5x +5) = 1 or -1, or
x^2 - 9x +20 = 0
-------------------
If (x^2 - 5x +5) = -1, then the exponent has to be an even integer.
---------------------
x^2 - 9x +20 = 0
(x-5)*(x-4) = 0
x = 5
x = 4
-------
(x^2 - 5x +5) = +1
x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0
x = 1
x = 4
------
------
Try the -1
(x^2 - 5x +5) = -1
x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0
x = 2
x = 3
The x=2 will give an even exponent and is valid
The x=3 --> an even exponent too.
x = 2, 3, 4 or 5

Or a gear with a radius ....
Using radians makes it easy:
s = r*angle
s = 4*7*pi/8 = 7pi/2 inches
s =~ 11 inches

2
It's 2nd order, it's always 2.
Sometimes the 2 solutions are equal,
eg, x^2 + 2x + 1 = 0 has solutions -1 and -1.

I think the equation is written as 5400=1200%28x%29%5E-8 but I'm not sure. Either way, I still can't figure out how to solve it. Any help would be much appreciated!!

"There are 5400 ants in a colony. If there were 1200 ants in the colony 8 months ago, what is the monthly rate of growth?"
-----------------------
If the number increases linearly, it's (5400 - 1200)/8 = 525/month
-------------------
It's more likely to be an exponential increase, tho, with a constant growth.
5400 = 1200*e^rt (t in months)
e^(8r) = 5400/1200 = 4.5
8r = ln(4.5)
r = ln(4.5)/8 =~ 0.188
------------------------
If it's done on a monthly basis:
5400 = 1200(1 + r)^8
(1+r)^8 = 4.5
1+r = 4.5^(1/8)
r = 4.5^(1/8) - 1
r =~ 0.206845
