Question 623648: Not sure if this is right place to ask this question:
The problem had a step in it:
First rewrite the value of f(x) in exponential form, with base 8.
f(x)=1/512 = 1/8^3 = 8^-3
I understand that 8^3 equals 1/512, just not what steps they took. Is there an easy way to figure out the exponential form of a number? Also, why did the exponent become negative at the end step?
Thank you.

Question 629636: If (3^5x)(27^5x)=(3^48)(9^9x), then what is the value of x?
I tried to solve for x as a regular equation and got stuck when x was isolated on one side as an exponent.....(3^5x)(27^5x)=(3^48)(9^8x)
81^10x=(3^48)(9^8x)
9^2x=(3^48)
Also tried....
10x=48+8x
2x=48
x=24
the answer is 12

Question 629713: I need help on this problem, I'm not sure if I have the steps right or if I'm doing something wrong. Any help is appreciated. :)
"evaluate the expression"
5^0 + 8^1

5^0 is always a 1 so 1 + 8^1
then i make the 8^1 a fraction I think?
1 + 8^1/1
then i multiply so is the answer 1 64/1 ?
Is that true or false.
