How do you solve powers of powers in advanced algebra

1 answer:

7 0

Ex: 2^2^2

Basically, the base is multiplied by the first power however large the number. Then the new base is multiplied by the second power to get an even larger number.
Say you have a question that asks for the power of the power of 2. Or 2^2^2.

You would do the equation 2^2 first, and end up with 4. But since you have another power, you would have the answer as 4^2. Which would then equal 16. But another equation that is similar is: 2^2^2 = 2^4
The two equations would still get the same answer, but would look entirely different.

How many odd positive integers less than 300 can be written using the numbers 2,4,5,and 8

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given four numbers 2, 4, 6, 8.

The numbers can be arranged to form an odd number which is less than 300.

That means we have three spaces to fill this. We can try out the different combination of the numbers.

Note that the numbers should be odd. So, in the unit digit should only be 5. 2, 4, 8 would make the number even.

Also, the first digit can only be two because other numbers would make it bigger than 300.

So, 2 ___ 5 is fixed. The middle digit could be any of the four.

So, 225; 245; 255 and 285 all satisfy the conditions.
