Question 22662
What base of log do you want? Lets do it to base 10...i shall just write it as "log"...


(2/5)log32 = log4
2log32 = 5log4


Where do you want to take it?


To me, the 32 and 4 both SHOUT 2 at me..2^5 is 32 and 2^2 is 4, so we have:


{{{(2^5)^(2/5) = 2^2}}} which then becomes {{{2^2 = 2^2}}}, which shows that the lefthand side is actually the SAME values as 4...no need to take logs
