Q. What is the value of A when we rewrite 292x as Ax ?Choose 1 answer:(A) A=229(B) A=292(C) A=2921(D) A=(291)2
Find Base A: To rewrite 29(x/2) as Ax, we need to find a base A such that when raised to the power of x, it is equivalent to 29(x/2). This means we are looking for a base A that when squared (because the exponent x in Ax will be effectively halved when compared to 29(x/2)) gives us 29.
Square of A: We know that (Ax)2=A2x. Therefore, if we want Ax to be equivalent to 292x, we need A2 to be equal to 29. This means A is the square root of 29.
Calculate A: The square root of 29 is written as 29(21). Therefore, A=29(21).
Check Answer Choices: We can now check the answer choices to see which one matches our result:(A) A=229 is incorrect because it represents a fraction, not a square root.(B) A=292 is incorrect because it represents the square of 29, not the square root.(C) A=2921 is correct because it represents the square root of 29.(D) A=(291)2 is incorrect because it represents the square of the reciprocal of 29, not the square root of 29.
