+701 general question: how do i even write equivalent expressions to like a given expression?
the question for example asks for an equivalent expression if you are given 5^4x-3
(sorry i did not know how to write that in latex)
i have tried this question over 5 times and i still dont understand how it can be solved:
can someone please give me some hints, i don't want it to be solved i want to figure it out myself but i really don't know where to start.
thank you :3
+37153 There are LOTS of ways to write equaivalent expressions.....is this 54x-3 ?
= 54x / 53
= 54x /125 are a couple equivalent expressions

Firstly the expression you have written is not clear.
5^4x-3
EP has interpretted this to mean \(5^{4x-3}\)
Is this what you intended? If so it should have been written as 5^(4x-3)
\(5^{4x-3}\\ =5^{4x}*5^{-3}\\ =(5^4)^x*\frac{1}{5^3}\\ =\frac{625^x}{125} \)
this is just another answer that is equivalent.
