Math Question for my homework?

Question

5x2=32 ( that 2 is supposed to be an exponet) what does x equal


need help please and if possible please explain

ok the problem is 5x^2=32


what does x equal

Answer 1

x^2=32/5=6.4
x=sq.rt.6.4
=2.53

Answer 2

if its 5 X ^2 = 32 and solve for X:
divide 32 by 5 so that X [squared] is on its own side.
now 32/5 = 6.4
so its X [squared] = 6.4
get the square root of 6.4 and X = 2.529822128 ~ 2.53
plug 2.53 as X
5 (2.53 ^2) = 32.0045 close enough

or if you a parenthesis around like this (5X)^2 = 32 then solve for X:
get the square of both sides so that 5X = 5.66
divide both sides by 5 and X=1.13
[5(1.13)] ^2 = 31.9223 or round off to 32

OR if the X is a multiple sign.
as in 5 x 2 = 3^2 then that's not possible.
cuz 5 x 2 = 10. and 3 ^2 = 9.
10 does not equal 9

which 2 was an exponent? cuz i don't think you can have a square root on both sides.
as you can see there's many ways a mathematician can right this. I just don't have the time.

Answer 3

ok, well, is the question writen correctly? Is it (5x)2=32? Because the x beside the 5 means multiply. And if so, what to do with the 2? Add subtract, what? Check how it is written and repost it EXACTLY how it is in your textbook. I love algebra, it'll be a cinch

Answer 4

5x^2 = 32

Your first step is to divide both sides by 5.

x^2 = 32/5

Then, you take the square root of side.
NOTE: When taking the square root of both sides of an equation, you have to add "plus or minus" on the right hand side.

x = +/- sqrt(32/5)

Therefore, x = sqrt(32/5) or -sqrt(32/5)

Answer 5

5x2=32
x5
25x=32
/25 /25
x= 1.28

Answer 6

wat ever those ppl on top said
