Question 981158: Hello tutors: base 8 ^ 5/3
= 2^(4 x/2).....I got the first half by doing this...base (2^3)^5/3 and then base 2^5... the second part I could not figure that out...can I have a step by step on the second part of this equation and final answer...thanks tutors. Answer by Edwin McCravy(20065) (Show Source):
Simplify the exponent as just
Next, write as
Next, we multiply the exponents of 2 on the left getting 5
Now that the bases are the same on both sides and they are 2,
which is positive and not 1, we merely equate the exponents
of 2:
