  • Question
    How can I solve an unknown exponent, e.g 2^y?

    The expression would have to be part of an equation before you could find the value of y.

  • Question
    How do I answer if the problem is in sentence form?
    Community Answer
    Do your best to take key vocabulary and transform it into math, then take it from there.
  • Question
    How do I do an algebraic equation with 2 variables, that also has squares?
    Community Answer
    You add up the like terms, different variables do not add up. Also, if you are adding, the exponents have to be the same on the top right corner of the coefficients.
  • Question
    What is the law of exponent say?

    Community Answer
    First law of exponents: (a^b)(a^c) = a^(b + c). Second: x^x/x^y = x^(x - y). Third: (x)^y^z = x^(yz).
  • Question
    What is the square root of negative 27 - (-3)?
    Community Answer
    Let's assume you mean (√-27) - (-3). The square root of a negative number is an imaginary number incorporating "i" (or the square root of (-1). The square root of -27 can be expressed as 3i√3. So (√-27) - (-3) = (3i√3) + 3, which would more typically written 3 + 3i√3.
  • Question
    What is 7h to power 2 + 8h to power 2?
    Community Answer
    Let's assume you mean 7h² and 8h². They are "like terms" and can be combined to become 15h². If you mean (7h)² and (8h)², that's a different question. (7h)² + (8h)² = (49h²) + (64h²) = 113h².
  • Question
    How do you solve 2.35 x 10^3 = x over (.0842)(.0842)?
    Community Answer
    Let's assume the equation is this: (2.35) (10³) = x / (.0842)². Multiply both sides of the equation by (.0842)²: (2350)(.0842)² = x. So x = (2350)(.0842)(.0842) = 16.66.
