Hello, I have these math problems that I'm stuck on...can't seem to figure them out, so I turn to TA for help . Thanks. oh, and also please show me how you got the answer. 1. Find all values of p such that (8^p^2)(4^p)=2 2. The symbol [x] means the greatest integer less than or equal to x. Calculate the value of [sqr1]+[sqr2]+[sqr3]+...+[sqr49]+[sqr50].
not impressive really, I was in Alg 2 in 9th grade, and I had a few friends in Pre-Calc as a freshie The way the problem appears is confusing Is it? Eight raised to p squared times 3 squared?
For #1, think of it this way: 1^p = x Then, it looks like: (8x^2)(3x)=2 Solve for x, then solve for p.
I just realized i retyped part of the question wrong sorry guys. It's 8 to the p power squared multiplied by 4 to the p power. Edit: oh, I see how to do it, thanks weedeatinflyincougar . And to wootbean, it seems correct but how do you get to that 1+1+1+2... thing?
