Answer:

Explanation:

1/3 m ^5 = 12 Multiply both sides by 3

3(1/3) m^5 = 12 * 3

m^5 = 36

Now you have to be using a calculator capable of getting an answer that is a 1/5 power.

The key you need is either x^y or y^x or ^ All scientific calculators have one of these.

(m^5)^(1/5) = 36^(1/5)

m = 2.048 This has been rounded to the one thousandth place.

You should check this

2.048 * 2.048 * 2.048 * 2.048 * 2.048 = 36.029 which is very close considering how this was founded.
