Question

11

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.
2 points for each answer; 2 points for each explanation.

Answer 1

Explanation:

2^6 = 64 and the only power of 64 that gives us 1 is 64^0 = 1. S0 x = 1.

Now 5^0 is already 1. Then (5^0)^x =1^x is equal to 1 for any value of x.
