Question

Part a: if (2^6)x = 1, what is the value of x? explain your answer. part b: if (5^0)x = 1, what are the possible values of x? explain your answer.

Answer 1

(2^6)x = 1
x = 1/(2^6) = 2^(-6)
To get the value of x, divide both sides by 2^6, and the inverse of 2^6 is 2^(-6)

part b.) (5^0)x = 1
x = 1

5^0 is 1, hence x = 1.
