To Find The Multiplier:
60•xˆ5=45 (Sixty multiplied by X to the Fifth power equals Forty-Five)
xˆ5=45/60 (X to the Fifth power equals Forty-five over sixty)
x=5√45/60 (X equals the Fifth root of Forty-five over sixty)
x=0.944
60•xˆ5=45 (Sixty multiplied by X to the Fifth power equals Forty-Five)
xˆ5=45/60 (X to the Fifth power equals Forty-five over sixty)
x=5√45/60 (X equals the Fifth root of Forty-five over sixty)
x=0.944
