AI Thread Summary
To solve for an exponent that is pi and a cube root, using a calculator is often necessary, especially for non-perfect cube roots. The identity a^b = e^(b ln a) is useful for handling such calculations. This allows for the transformation of the expression into a form that can be computed with known values. Specific examples include expressions like e^(π ln 2) and e^(1/3 ln 73). Ultimately, using a calculator simplifies the process of finding these values.

Once in a while you will have a "perfect" cube root, ala the cube root of 27, but in general you have to use a calculator.

In general for a > 0 the following identity holds...

$\displaystyle a^{b} = e^{b\ \ln a}\ (1) $

... so that the six numbers are $\displaystyle e^{\ln 4.2},\ e^{\pi\ \ln 2},\ e^{\frac{1}{2} \ln 15},\ e^{2.5\ \ln 2},\ e^{\frac{1}{3}\ \ln 73},\ e^{3\ \ln \pi}$, and at this point You have to work on the exponents...

Kind regards

Thanks. I will put it in a calculator.
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
