two numbers, a and b, are each greater than zero, and 4 times the square root of a is equal to 9 times the cube root of b. if a, equals two thirds, for what value of x is a, to the x power equal to b ?



Answer :

The power of a that makes it equal to b is x = 5/6

What is square root?

The square root of a number is a number when multiplied by itself gives another number.

What is cube root?

The cube root of a number is a number when multiplied by itself three times gives another number.

What is power of a number?

The power of a number is the exponent of that number

How to find what value of x is a, to the x power equal to b ?

Since two numbers, a and b, are each greater than zero, and 4 times the square root of a is equal to 9 times the cube root of b. It follws that

4√a = 9∛b

⇒∛b = 4√a/9

⇒ b = ∛[4√a/9]

Since we require the  of x is a, to the x power equal to b if a = 2/3.

This implies that

aˣ = b

Substituting b into the equation, we have

aˣ =  ∛[4√a/9]

Since a = 2/3, we have

(2/3)ˣ =  ∛[4√(2/3)/9]

(2/3)ˣ =  ∛[4/9 × √(2/3)]

(2/3)ˣ =  ∛[2²/3² × √(2/3)]

(2/3)ˣ =  ∛[(2/3)² × √(2/3)]

(2/3)ˣ =  ∛[2/3)

[tex](\frac{2}{3} )^{x} = \sqrt[3]{(\frac{2}{3} )^{2 + \frac{1}{2}} } \\(\frac{2}{3} )^{x} = \sqrt[3]{(\frac{2}{3} )^{\frac{5}{2}} } \\(\frac{2}{3} )^{x} = (\frac{2}{3} )^{\frac{5}{2} \times \frac{1}{3} } \\(\frac{2}{3} )^{x} = (\frac{2}{3} )^{\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Equating both powers, we see that x = 5/6

So, the power of a is x = 5/6
