A number to the 12th power divided by the same number to the 9th power equals 125.
What is the number? 125 - Am I correct
Teachers the number is 5 am I correct.
Now you are correct.
To find the number, we can set up an equation based on the given information. Let's call the number "x." According to the statement, "A number to the 12th power divided by the same number to the 9th power equals 125," we can write the equation as:
x^12 / x^9 = 125
To solve this equation, we will use the rules of exponents. When dividing numbers with the same base, we subtract the exponents. So, simplifying the left side of the equation:
x^(12 - 9) = 125
x^3 = 125
To get the value of x, we can take the third root of both sides:
∛(x^3) = ∛125
x = ∛125
Calculating the cube root of 125:
x = 5
Therefore, the number is indeed 5, not 125.
