Question 18
IndicesIf (0.25)y = 32, find the value of y.
- A.y = −5/2
- B.y = −3/2
- C.y = 3/2
- D.y = 5/2
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: A (y = −5/2)
Explanation
0.25 = 2−2 and 32 = 25, so −2y = 5 and y = −5/2.
If (0.25)y = 32, find the value of y.
Answer: A (y = −5/2)
0.25 = 2−2 and 32 = 25, so −2y = 5 and y = −5/2.
