if x>0, x^2=2^64 and x^x=2^y what is the value of y?

Tell me how to do it please dont just give me the answer. Prove it to please

Use logarithms.

x^2 = 2^64 | Take natural log both sides

2 ln x = 64 ln 2 | /2

ln x = 64 ln 2 / 2 | e^ both sides

x = e^(64ln 2/2) = 2^(64/2) = 2^32

x^x = 2^y | natural log again......

x ln x = y ln 2 | substitution

2^32 ln 2^32 = y ln 2 | log property

32 * 2^32 ln 2 = y ln 2 | multiply

2^37 ln 2 = y ln 2 | / ln 2

y = 2^37

x2 would be 232 times 232 because 232 times 232 equals 264  then x would be plus or minus 232 but since x is positive it would be plus 232 so the question would be asking what is 2y if it equals x squared 32 is 25 than you can say 232 squared is 22^37 because (2^2^5)^2^32 is 22^37 therefore the value of y would be 237

if x>0, x^2=2^64 and x^x=2^y what is the value of y?

$$x^2=2^{64}$$              square root

$$\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{2^{64}}$$       calculate

$$x=2^{32}$$               result for x

$$\large x^x=2^y$$            output equation.  x-value

$$\large x^x=(2^{32})^{2^{32}}=2^{32\times 2^{32}}=2^{2^5\times 2^{32}}=2^{2^{37}}=2^y$$

$$\large2^{2^{37}}=2^y$$          output equation. x is used

If the basis of two powers is equal, the exponents are equal.

$$\large y={2^{37}}$$

$$y=137438953472$$

!

$$\large x^x=2^y$$    output equation. x and y used

$$\Large(2^{32})^{(2^{32})}=2^{137438953472}$$    x and y used. calculate

$$\large32\times2^{32}=137438953472$$  q.e.d
