0^(a+bi) |
2020-12-03 |
|
From Douglas:
I realize raising 0^a = 0 if a>0 and undefined if a<=0.
If have read that 0^bi is undefined for all b.
What I don't understand is why 0^(a+bi) = 0 if a and b are not equal to zero.
Is this purely by definition or is there a logical reason why this is the case?
(I have taken Complex Analysis, so have a fairly good understanding of complex numbers.)

2^a, 2^b, 1^1 and 1^0 |
2017-03-17 |
|
From Émile:
If you had 2^a = 4 and 2^b = 4 you could assume that a = b right? Yet we can observe that 1^1 and 1^0 both equal 1, yet 1 = 0 isn't true. So if given a log base 1 number 1 the would the answer be 1 AND 0?

Exponential form |
2017-03-04 |
|
From michael:
I was teaching my student about exponent when we stumbled across this problem.
"write (-125)^-3 in exponent form"
The problem is with the number "-125". I think -125 = (-5)^3. But one of my student thought that it is -125= -5^3.
Both of them is equal to -125 but they totally different in structure. I wonder which one is correct and why it is. I am worried if they get this wrong, it might spell problem in the future when we start substituting the numbers with variable.
Thank you very much for reading my question and answering it.

From A student:
If the graphs of y=x and y=2x are drawn on the same set of axes, they will intersect when x is equal to what?
(1)1
(2)2
(3)0
(4)They won't intersect.
I know the answer is number 4 by graphing which is permitted; however, I would like to know if there is any algebraic way to do this type of problem.If yes, please show me how.Thanks.

have encountered problem with the lack of memory every calculator
seems to have. No calculator, on or off the computer, I've found
has the amount of memory or writing space to calculate the sums I want
to solve. The sums are in great importance for my continued progress.
The sums are following:

Solve x = y^z for z |
2003-06-28 |
|
From Nathan:
If x = y^z is there a way to solve for z, if x and y are given, without guessing or already knowing the answer?
ie: 64 = 2^z
6 is the obvious value for z. Is there a way I could solve for this variable using a formula, which would also apply when more complex values were substituted for x and y?

From Melissa:
Alright, lets say you are multiplying (-2b+3)(-b-1) and you are using "FOIL" first you would get : 2b2+2b-3b-3 then you add like-terms. when multiplying,if the bases are the same, add the exponents...does the same thing apply when you are adding the results of the multiplication even though it's addition? would the answer be 2b3-3b-3 or would it be 2b2-b-3?

The full question is this: Isaac Newton generalized the Binomial Theorem to rational exponents. That is, he derived series of expansions for such expressions as (x+y)-3 (x+y)2/3 (x+y)5/6 What did Newton find? What are the first four terms of the series expansions of binomials above? How can this extended Binomial Thrm. be used to aid in calculations?
