Will you help a stupid girl with her Algebra???? I really need help!?

Question

I got this stuff when I was in class, but I totally forgot. Can you explain to me how to write a number as a power of a given base?? Here is an example from my homework...

256; base 2

Here is one I did when I still remembered how

1,000,000; base of 10= 10 to the sixth

Thanks a bunch

Answer 1

What the question is asking you is to find to waht power of x is 2 equal to 256.

Now we can make an equation:

2^x=256 (Notice that the 2 is the base and x is the exponent)

Now all you have to do is solve for x:

Taking the log of both sides:

x log(2)=log(256)

x=log(256)/log(2)

x=8

Answer 2^8

Answer 2

Help of what base?

what is the base of your Brain?

you have a bra out?

he has a bra in!

Answer 3

hey stupid buy a tutor

Answer 4

To convert a number in binary, first try to find the largest power of 2 that's equal to or less than the number

1 [base 2] = 2^0 = 1

10 [base 2] = 2^1 = 2

100 [base 2] = 2^2 = 4

1000 [base 2] = 2^3 = 8

...

1000 000 00 [base 2] = 2^8 =256

In this case, 256 itself is a power of 2, so it's just a matter of finding what place the power is in.  The answer is "100000000"

Answer 5

256 = 2^x

16 * 16 = 2^x

2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 2^x

2^8 = 2^x

x = 8

2^8 = 256

Answer 6

2 to the 8th power

Answer 7

its 16.

because 16 squared is 256

i believe thats what youre trying to get at there.
