Question

Solve this indical equation:
(10)^(x) = 0.001

Answers

Answer
(5)^(1-2x) = 1
Answer
Can you like do your work together with the base instead of separate calculations of the indices and base?
Answer
But what happened to the numbers 5 and 1, the bases?

To solve the exponential equation \( (10)^x = 0.001 \), we can first rewrite \( 0.001 \) in terms of a power of \( 10 \):

\[
0.001 = \frac{1}{1000} = \frac{1}{10^3} = 10^{-3}
\]

Now, we can rewrite the equation as:

\[
10^x = 10^{-3}
\]

Since the bases are the same, we can set the exponents equal to each other:

\[
x = -3
\]

Thus, the solution to the equation \( (10)^x = 0.001 \) is:

\[
\boxed{-3}
\]

To solve the equation \( (5)^{1 - 2x} = 1 \), we start by recalling that any number raised to the power of 0 equals 1. Therefore, we can set the exponent equal to 0:

\[
1 - 2x = 0
\]

Now, solve for \( x \):

\[
1 = 2x
\]

\[
x = \frac{1}{2}
\]

Thus, the solution to the equation \( (5)^{1 - 2x} = 1 \) is:

\[
\boxed{\frac{1}{2}}
\]

Sure! Let's solve the equation \( (5)^{1 - 2x} = 1 \) while keeping the base and the exponent together for clarity.

1. We start with the equation:

\[
(5)^{1 - 2x} = 1
\]

2. We know that for any base \( a \) (where \( a \neq 0 \)), \( a^0 = 1 \). Therefore, we can set the exponent equal to 0:

\[
1 - 2x = 0
\]

3. Solving for \( x \):

\[
1 - 2x = 0
\]

\[
1 = 2x
\]

\[
x = \frac{1}{2}
\]

Thus, the final solution is:

\[
\boxed{\frac{1}{2}}
\]

I understand your request now. Let's take into account the base and keep the calculations together. We'll analyze it with emphasis on the base \(5\) and the exponent.

Given the equation:

\[
(5)^{1 - 2x} = 1
\]

1. **Recognize the condition of the equation:** Since \( (5)^{1 - 2x} \) must equal 1, we can apply the property that states any non-zero base raised to the power of 0 equals 1. Therefore, we can conclude:

\[
1 - 2x = 0
\]

2. **Now solve for \(x\)** while keeping the equation balanced and highlighting the base and exponent:

- Start with the equation for the exponent:
\[
1 - 2x = 0
\]

- Rearranging this gives us:
\[
1 = 2x
\]

- Solving for \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{1}{2}
\]

Thus, highlighting the significance of the base \(5\) alongside the exponent process, we arrive at the solution:

\[
\boxed{\frac{1}{2}}
\]
