Question

Can you find the numbers as powers with the given bases as your clue? Example: the number is 64 and the base is 4. I test 4x4=16 Then 16x4=64 So my power must be 43 because 4x4x4=64. Now you try... 1. It has a value of 32; it has a base of 2 2. 81, base 9 3. 81, base 3 4. 100, base 10

Answer 1

Explanation:

For 32:

The factors are as shown:

32 = 2*2*2*2*2

32 = 2²*2³

32 = 2²⁺³

32 = 2⁵ (Base of 2 and power of 5)

For 81:

factors

81 = 3*3*3*3

81 = 3²*3²

81 = 3²⁺²

81 = 3⁴ (Base of 3 and power of 4)

For 100:

factors

100 = 10*10

100 = 10² (Base of 10 and power of 2)
