Exercise #2

Solve the following equation:

644=2x \frac{\sqrt{64}}{\sqrt{4}}=2x

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Introduction:

We will address the following two laws of exponents:

a. Definition of root as an exponent:

an=a1n \sqrt[n]{a}=a^{\frac{1}{n}}

b. The law of exponents for an exponent applied to terms in parentheses:

(ab)n=anbn (\frac{a}{b})^n=\frac{a^n}{b^n}

Note:

By combining the two laws of exponents mentioned in a (in the first and third stages below) and b (in the second stage below), we can derive another new rule:

abn=(ab)1n=a1nb1n=anbnabn=anbn \sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\\ (\frac{a}{b})^{\frac{1}{n}}=\\ \frac{a^{\frac{1}{n}}}{ b^{\frac{1}{n}}}=\\ \frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{ \sqrt[n]{ b}}\\ \downarrow\\ \boxed{ \sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{ \sqrt[n]{ b}}}

And specifically for the fourth root we get:

ab=ab \boxed{ \sqrt{\frac{a}{ b}}=\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{ b}} }

Therefore, we can proceed with solving the problem:

644=2x \frac{\sqrt{64}}{\sqrt{4}}=2x Let's start by simplifying the expression on the left side, using the new rule we received in the introduction:

ab=ab \boxed{ \sqrt{\frac{a}{ b}}=\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{ b}} }

(But in the opposite direction, meaning we'll insert the product of roots as a product of terms under the same root) Then we'll perform the multiplication under the root:

644=2x644=2x16=2x4=2x \frac{\sqrt{64}}{\sqrt{4}}=2x \\ \sqrt{\frac{64}{4}}=2x \\ \sqrt{16}=2x \\ 4=2x \\ In the final stage, we used the known fourth root of the number 16,

After simplifying the expression on the left side, to isolate the unknown, we'll divide both sides of the equation by its coefficient:

4=2x/:22=xx=2 4=2x\hspace{6pt}\text{/}:2 \\ 2=x \\ \downarrow\\ \boxed{x=2}

Let's summarize the solution of the equation:

644=2x16=2x4=2xx=2 \frac{\sqrt{64}}{\sqrt{4}}=2x \\ \sqrt{16}=2x \\ 4=2x \\ \downarrow\\ \boxed{x=2}

Therefore, the correct answer is answer b.

    x=66 x = \frac{6}{\sqrt{6}} .
  • Step 4: Simplify the fraction:
    Multiply the numerator and denominator by 6\sqrt{6}:
    x=6×66×6=666=6 x = \frac{6 \times \sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6} \times \sqrt{6}} = \frac{6 \sqrt{6}}{6} = \sqrt{6} .

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x=6 x = \sqrt{6} .

To solve the given equation, 50x=5\frac{\sqrt{50}}{\sqrt{x}} = 5, we will follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Multiply both sides by x\sqrt{x} to isolate x\sqrt{x}:
    50=5x\sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{x}.
  • Step 2: Divide both sides by 5 to solve for x\sqrt{x}:
    x=505\sqrt{x} = \frac{\sqrt{50}}{5}.
  • Step 3: Simplify 505\frac{\sqrt{50}}{5}:
    50=25×2=252=52\sqrt{50} = \sqrt{25 \times 2} = \sqrt{25}\sqrt{2} = 5\sqrt{2}. Thus, 525=2\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{5} = \sqrt{2}.

Exercise #5

Solve the following equation:

90x=3 \frac{\sqrt{90}}{\sqrt{x}}=3

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll apply the properties of square roots and some straightforward algebraic techniques:

Step 1: Recall the equation given is:

90x=3 \frac{\sqrt{90}}{\sqrt{x}} = 3

Use the property of the square root quotient:

90x=3 \sqrt{\frac{90}{x}} = 3

Step 2: To eliminate the square root, square both sides of the equation:

(90x)2=32 \left(\sqrt{\frac{90}{x}}\right)^2 = 3^2

Thus, we have:

90x=9 \frac{90}{x} = 9

Step 3: Solve for xx by performing algebraic manipulation:

Multiply both sides by xx to remove the fraction:

90=9x 90 = 9x

Divide both sides by 9 to isolate xx:

x=909 x = \frac{90}{9}

Simplifying, we find:

x=10 x = 10

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x=10 x = 10 .

Exercise #6

Solve the following equation:

23=x6 \sqrt{2}\cdot\sqrt{3}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{6}}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Introduction:

We will address the following two laws of exponents:

a. Definition of root as an exponent:

an=a1n \sqrt[n]{a}=a^{\frac{1}{n}}

b. The law of exponents for an exponent applied to terms in parentheses:

(ab)n=anbn (a\cdot b)^n=a^n\cdot b^n

Note:

By combining these two laws of exponents mentioned in a (in the first and third steps ahead) and b (in the second step ahead), we can obtain a new rule:

abn=(ab)1n=a1nb1n=anbnabn=anbn \sqrt[n]{a\cdot b}=\\ (a\cdot b)^{\frac{1}{n}}=\\ a^{\frac{1}{n}}\cdot b^{\frac{1}{n}}=\\ \sqrt[n]{a}\cdot \sqrt[n]{ b}\\ \downarrow\\ \boxed{\sqrt[n]{a\cdot b}=\sqrt[n]{a}\cdot \sqrt[n]{ b}}

And specifically for the fourth root we get:

ab=ab \boxed{ \sqrt{a\cdot b}=\sqrt{a}\cdot \sqrt{ b}}

Therefore, we will proceed with solving the problem as follows:

x6=23 \frac{x}{\sqrt{6}} = \sqrt{2}\cdot\sqrt{3}

First, we'll eliminate the fraction line, which we'll do by multiplying both sides of the equation by the common denominator which is- 6 \sqrt{6} :

x6=23/6x=236 \frac{x}{\sqrt{6}} = \sqrt{2}\cdot\sqrt{3} \hspace{6pt}\text{/}\cdot\sqrt{6}\\ x=\sqrt{2}\cdot\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{6}

Let's continue and simplify the expression on the left side of the equation, using the rule we received in the introduction:

ab=ab \boxed{ \sqrt{a\cdot b}=\sqrt{a}\cdot \sqrt{ b}}

(which of course also applies to multiplication between numbers under a root), next we'll perform the multiplication under the root:

x=236x=236x=36x=6 x=\sqrt{2}\cdot\sqrt{3}\cdot\sqrt{6} \\ x=\sqrt{2\cdot3\cdot6} \\ x=\sqrt{36}\\ \boxed{x=6}

In the final step, we used the known fourth root of the number 36,

Let's summarize the solution of the equation:

x6=23/6x=236x=36x=6 \frac{x}{\sqrt{6}} = \sqrt{2}\cdot\sqrt{3} \hspace{6pt}\text{/}\cdot\sqrt{6}\\ x=\sqrt{2}\cdot\sqrt{3}\cdot \sqrt{6} \\ x=\sqrt{36}\\ \boxed{x=6}

Therefore, the correct answer is answer a.

  • Step 1: Simplify the left-hand side.
    - Use the product rule for roots: 205=205=100\sqrt{20} \cdot \sqrt{5} = \sqrt{20 \cdot 5} = \sqrt{100}.
  • Step 2: Simplify 100\sqrt{100} to get 10\.
  • Step 3: Substitute and simplify the equation:
    \(\frac{10}{x} = 2 \cdot \sqrt{25}.
  • Step 4: Simplify the right-hand side:
    25=5\sqrt{25} = 5 so 25=102 \cdot 5 = 10.
  • Step 5: Equate both sides:
    10x=10\frac{10}{x} = 10.
  • Step 6: Solve for xx:

    10=10x10 = 10x produces x=1x = 1.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is x=1\boldsymbol{x = 1}.

Exercise #8

Solve for x:

8422=x2 \frac{\sqrt{8}\cdot\sqrt{4}\cdot\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=\sqrt{x^2}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Simplify the expression 842\sqrt{8}\cdot\sqrt{4}\cdot\sqrt{2}.
  • Divide this product by 2\sqrt{2}.
  • Set the result equal to x2\sqrt{x^2} and solve for x x .

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: First, simplify the product under the square root:

842=842\sqrt{8}\cdot\sqrt{4}\cdot\sqrt{2} = \sqrt{8\cdot4\cdot2}.

This simplifies to:

64\sqrt{64}, because 842=648 \cdot 4 \cdot 2 = 64.

Step 2: Now, divide by 2\sqrt{2}:

642=642=32\frac{\sqrt{64}}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{\frac{64}{2}} = \sqrt{32}.

Step 3: Equate this to x2\sqrt{x^2}:

32=x2\sqrt{32} = \sqrt{x^2}.

This implies x=32 |x| = \sqrt{32} , giving us two possible solutions: x=32 x = \sqrt{32} and x=32 x = -\sqrt{32} .

Since the simplification naturally leads to positive expressions, we find:

The solution is x=32 x = \sqrt{32} .

Answer

x=32 x=\sqrt{32}

Exercise #9

Solve the following exercise:

81=x63 \sqrt{\sqrt{81}}=\sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x^6}}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Simplify the left side of the equation, 81 \sqrt{\sqrt{81}} .
  • Step 2: Simplify the right side of the equation, x63 \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x^6}} .
  • Step 3: Equate the simplified expressions and solve for x x .

Now, let's simplify each side:

Step 1: Simplify 81 \sqrt{\sqrt{81}} .

First, evaluate 81 \sqrt{81} , which is 9 9 , since 92=81 9^2 = 81 .
Then, evaluate 9 \sqrt{9} , which is 3 3 , since 32=9 3^2 = 9 .
So, 81=3 \sqrt{\sqrt{81}} = 3 .

Step 2: Simplify x63 \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x^6}} .

Express x6 \sqrt{x^6} as (x6)1/2=x6/2=x3 (x^6)^{1/2} = x^{6/2} = x^3 .
Express x33 \sqrt[3]{x^3} as (x3)1/3=x3/3=x1=x (x^3)^{1/3} = x^{3/3} = x^1 = x .
So, x63=x \sqrt[3]{\sqrt{x^6}} = x .

Step 3: Set the simplified expressions equal.

We have simplified both sides of the equation to get 3=x 3 = x .
Therefore, the solution to the problem is x=3 x = 3 .

Hence, the correct answer is x=3 x = 3 .

Therefore, the correct choice is:

Choice 2: x=3 x = 3 .

Answer

Exercise #10

Solve the following exercise:

16643=x2 \sqrt{\frac{16}{\sqrt[3]{64}}}=\sqrt{x^2}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the problem 16643=x2 \sqrt{\frac{16}{\sqrt[3]{64}}} = \sqrt{x^2} , we proceed step-by-step as follows:

  • First, we simplify 643 \sqrt[3]{64} . Since 64=43 64 = 4^3 , it follows that 643=4 \sqrt[3]{64} = 4 .
  • Next, simplify the expression 16643 \frac{16}{\sqrt[3]{64}} :
    164=4\frac{16}{4} = 4.
  • Now, take the square root of this simplified value. Thus, 4=2 \sqrt{4} = 2 .
  • The equation simplifies to: x2=2 \sqrt{x^2} = 2 . Since x2=x\sqrt{x^2} = |x|, we have x=2|x| = 2.
  • This implies x=2 x = 2 or x=2 x = -2 .
  • However, choices include only positive solutions, and thus x=2 x = 2 .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is x=2 x = 2 .

Answer

Exercise #11

Solve for x:

2416=x8 \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{16}}=\frac{x}{\sqrt{8}}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve the equation step by step:

  • Step 1: Simplify the left side of the equation
    We are given 2416 \frac{\sqrt{2}\cdot\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{16}} . Start by simplifying each square root:
    • 2 \sqrt{2} remains as it is.
    • 4=2 \sqrt{4} = 2 because 4=22 4 = 2^2 .
    • 16=4 \sqrt{16} = 4 because 16=42 16 = 4^2 .
    Substitute these into the initial expression: 224=224 \frac{\sqrt{2} \cdot 2}{4} = \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{4} .
  • Step 2: Simplify the expression
    The expression 224 \frac{2\sqrt{2}}{4} simplifies to 22 \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} .
  • Step 3: Equate to the right side
    Set this equal to the right side: 22=x8 \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{8}} .
  • Step 4: Cross-multiply to solve for x x
    Cross-multiplying gives x2=28 x \cdot 2 = \sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{8} . Simplify the right side:
    • 8=42=42=22 \sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 2} = \sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2}
    • So, 28=222=2(22)=22=4 \sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{8} = \sqrt{2} \cdot 2\sqrt{2} = 2 \cdot (\sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{2}) = 2 \cdot 2 = 4
    • The equation becomes 2x=4 2x = 4 .
    • Solving for x x , divide both sides by 2: x=42=2 x = \frac{4}{2} = 2 .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is x=2 x = 2 .

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve 4525=2x\frac{\sqrt{4} \cdot \sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{25}} = 2x, we follow these steps:

  • Simplify 4\sqrt{4}: The square root of 4 is 2.
  • Simplify 5\sqrt{5}: 5\sqrt{5} remains 5\sqrt{5}.
  • Simplify 25\sqrt{25}: The square root of 25 is 5.
  • Substitute these values back: 255=2x\frac{2 \cdot \sqrt{5}}{5} = 2x.
  • Write the expression: 255=2x\frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5} = 2x.
  • Divide both sides by 2 to solve for xx:
  • x=2552=55 x = \frac{2\sqrt{5}}{5 \cdot 2} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}

The simplified expression for 5\sqrt{5} is equivalent to 2010\frac{\sqrt{20}}{10}, using 5=202\sqrt{5} = \frac{\sqrt{20}}{2} since 20=25\sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 2010\boxed{\frac{\sqrt{20}}{10}}.

Exercise #13

Solve the following equation:

4510=x \frac{\sqrt{4}\cdot\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{10}}=x

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Introduction:

We will address the following three laws of exponents:

a. Definition of root as an exponent:

an=a1n \sqrt[n]{a}=a^{\frac{1}{n}}

b. The law of exponents for an exponent applied to a product in parentheses:

(ab)n=anbn (a\cdot b)^n=a^n\cdot b^n

c. The law of exponents for an exponent applied to a quotient in parentheses:

(ab)n=anbn (\frac{a}{b})^n=\frac{a^n}{b^n}

Note:

(1). By combining the two laws of exponents mentioned in a (in the first and third steps later) and b (in the second step later), we can obtain a new rule:

abn=(ab)1n=a1nb1n=anbnabn=anbn \sqrt[n]{a\cdot b}=\\ (a\cdot b)^{\frac{1}{n}}=\\ a^{\frac{1}{n}}\cdot b^{\frac{1}{n}}=\\ \sqrt[n]{a}\cdot \sqrt[n]{ b}\\ \downarrow\\ \boxed{\sqrt[n]{a\cdot b}=\sqrt[n]{a}\cdot \sqrt[n]{ b}}

And specifically for the fourth root we get:

ab=ab \boxed{ \sqrt{a\cdot b}=\sqrt{a}\cdot \sqrt{ b}}

(2). Similarly, note that by combining the two laws of exponents mentioned in a (in the first and third steps later) and c (in the second step later), we can obtain another new rule:

abn=(ab)1n=a1nb1n=anbnabn=anbn \sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\\ (\frac{a}{b})^{\frac{1}{n}}=\\ \frac{a^{\frac{1}{n}}}{ b^{\frac{1}{n}}}=\\ \frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{ \sqrt[n]{ b}}\\ \downarrow\\ \boxed{ \sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{ \sqrt[n]{ b}}}

And specifically for the fourth root we get:

ab=ab \boxed{ \sqrt{\frac{a}{ b}}=\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{ b}} }

Therefore, in solving the problem, meaning - in simplifying the given expression, we will use the two new rules we received in the introduction:

(1).

ab=ab \boxed{ \sqrt{a\cdot b}=\sqrt{a}\cdot \sqrt{ b}}

(2).

ab=ab \boxed{ \sqrt{\frac{a}{ b}}=\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{ b}} }

We will start by simplifying the expression in the numerator using the rule we received in the introduction (1) (but in the opposite direction, meaning we will insert the product of roots as a product of terms under the same root) Then we will perform the multiplication under the root in the numerator:

4510=4510=2010= \frac{\sqrt{4}\cdot\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{10}}= \\ \frac{\sqrt{4\cdot5}}{\sqrt{10}}= \\ \frac{\sqrt{20}}{\sqrt{10}}= \\ We will continue and simplify the fraction, using the rule we received in the introduction (2) (but in the opposite direction, meaning we will insert the quotient of roots as a quotient of terms under the same root) Then we will reduce the fraction under the root:

2010=2010=2 \frac{\sqrt{20}}{\sqrt{10}}= \\ \sqrt{\frac{20}{10}}=\\ \boxed{\sqrt{2}}

Let's summarize the process of simplifying the expression in the problem:

4510=2010=2 \frac{\sqrt{4}\cdot\sqrt{5}}{\sqrt{10}}= \\ \frac{\sqrt{20}}{\sqrt{10}}= \\ \boxed{\sqrt{2}}

Therefore, the correct answer is answer c.

  • Step 2: Simplify 25 \sqrt{25} .
  • Step 3: Calculate the right-hand side.
  • Step 4: Solve x6= \sqrt{x^6} = computed right-hand side.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: Simplify 16 \sqrt{\sqrt{16}} .
We know that 16=4 \sqrt{16} = 4 , and 4=2 \sqrt{4} = 2 . So, 16=2 \sqrt{\sqrt{16}} = 2 .

Step 4: Solve x6=10 \sqrt{x^6} = 10 .
Rewrite the left side as (x6)1/2=x6/2=x3 (x^6)^{1/2} = x^{6/2} = x^3 .

Exercise #16

Solve the following exercise:

x105=81 \sqrt[5]{\sqrt[]{x^{10}}}=\sqrt{\sqrt{81}}

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll begin by simplifying both sides of the equation:

  • Simplifying the left-hand side:

x105 \sqrt[5]{\sqrt{x^{10}}} can be rewritten using properties of exponents and roots. The inner square root is (x10)1/2=x1012=x5 (x^{10})^{1/2} = x^{10 \cdot \frac{1}{2}} = x^{5} .

Then, take the fifth root: (x5)15=x515=x1=x (x^{5})^{\frac{1}{5}} = x^{5 \cdot \frac{1}{5}} = x^{1} = x .
Thus, the left-hand side simplifies to x x .

  • Simplifying the right-hand side:

81 \sqrt{\sqrt{81}} simplifies as follows: First, find 81=9\sqrt{81} = 9.
Then, compute 9=3\sqrt{9} = 3.

So, the equation reduces to x=3 x = 3 .

Therefore, the solution to the problem is x=3 \boxed{x = 3} .
