can you solve this sum?

Question

I confused with this equation. I cannot solve this problem even using calculator. Plz show me steps to solve with calc.

Q=20K^0.1L^0.9 where K=20 and L=50

Answer 1

Hi,

If you mean Q = 20K^.1*L^.9 then I entered

20*20^.1*50^.9 and pressed ENTER. This gave 912.4435366. I hope that is the value you wanted for Q.

I hope that helps!! :-)

Answer 2

Q=20*(K^0.1)*(L^0.9)
K^0.1 is n-th root from K where n=10 K=20
(0.1=1/10)
L^0.9 is k-th root from L^9 where k=10 L=50
(0.9=9/10)
and if you want to solve it with calc, you should use scientific calculator or the app. Microsoft Excel.

Answer 3

Just substitute the numbers into the formula
and remember the rules of BODMAS

powers first then multiplying

do the K^0.1 = 20^ 0.1

then store your answer in memory or write it down and multiply it by L^0.9 = 50^0.9

then multiply your answer by 20

Answer 4

Q = 20 x K^(0.1) x L^(0.9)
Q = 20 x 20^(0.1) x 50^(0.9)
Q = 20 + 1.4 + 33.8
Q = 55 . 2
Explanation
On my (rather old!) calculator,
to calculate 50^(0.9), the following buttons were used:-
