The Human body maintains a constent temperature, can that not be converted to the BTU in a period certian? Say a 24 hour day???
Does it matter that I just ate and apple if I don't care how much heat the apple produced?
I can not imagain that this is that hard a question.

I can't find the answers to these questions anywhere!
Where is Venus now and why do not see it at midnight?

Where is Mars and why is it so bright?

Where can you find Saturn in morning sky? ( around 5:30AM )

Suppose that x^2 = 1. Then it follows that the real solutions of x are x = {1, -1}.

Now, suppose that x^3 = 1. In this case, x has only one real solution: x = 1.

For x^4 = 1, x has two solutions once more: x = {1, -1}.

It appears that for odd integers n, x^n = 1 has one real solution.
For even integers n, x^n = 1 has TWO real solutions.

My question is regarding values of n that do not fall under that category. Particularly, if n isn't an integer, yielding two cases:

1) What if n is a non-integer fraction? Will x have one real solution, two real solutions, or neither?

2) What if n is an irrational number (such as e, pi)? How many real solutions (if any) will x^n = 1 have?

I ask this to satisfy my mathematical curiosity, and if anybody can help me by answering those questions I would be grateful. Please give me as much details a possible when answering, as I'm interested in the mathematics behind it.

Note that I'm talking only about the REAL solutions.

Thanks in advance.
