Q. What is the value of A when we rewrite (65)x as A−8x? Choose 1 answer: (A) A=(65)81 (B) A=(65)−81 (C) A=−8⋅65 (D) A=81
Identify Base A: We want to express (65)x in the form of A−8x. To do this, we need to find a base A such that raising A to the power of −8x will give us the same result as (65)x.
Equating the Expressions: To find A, we equate the two expressions: (65)x=A−8x
Setting Exponents Equal: Since the exponents must be the same for the bases to be equal, we can set the exponents equal to each other: x=−8x⋅log(65)(A)
Isolating the Term: Divide both sides by x to isolate the term with A: 1=−8⋅log(65)(A)
Solving for Logarithm: Now, divide both sides by −8 to solve for log(65)(A): −81=log(65)(A)
Removing Logarithm: To remove the logarithm, we raise the base (65) to the power of both sides of the equation:(65)−81=A
Removing Logarithm: To remove the logarithm, we raise the base (65) to the power of both sides of the equation:(65)−81=AWe can now see that the correct expression for A is (65)−81, which corresponds to answer choice (B).
