Q. What is the value of A when we rewrite 3x as A5x ?Choose 1 answer:(A) A=3(B) A=3−5(C) A=351(D) A=3−51
Given equation: We are given the equation 3x and we want to express it in the form A5x. To do this, we need to find a value for A such that raising A to the power of 5x will give us the same result as raising 3 to the power of x.
Equating the expressions: We can start by equating the two expressions:3x=A5xSince the bases must be the same for the exponents to be equal, we can deduce that A5 must be equal to 3.
Finding A: To find A, we take the fifth root of both sides of the equation A5=3: A=(3)(1/5)This simplifies to A being the fifth root of 3.
Checking the answer choices: Now we can check the answer choices to see which one matches our result:(A) A=3 (This would imply A5=35, which is not correct.)(B) A=3−5 (This would imply A5=(3−5)5=3−25, which is not correct.)(C) A=351 (This matches our result, so it is correct.)(D) A=3−51 (This would imply A5=(3−51)5=3−1, which is not correct.)
