Homework Statement
Simplify x^(3logx2 - logx5) to find an exact numerical value.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
3logx2=logx2^3 or logx8,
(logx8 - logx5)=logx8/5
the inverse would be x^y=8/5 (y is unknown)
therefore logx8/5=y and x^(logx8/5)=x^y=8/5
and the inverse of that would be logx8/5=logx8/5
(logx8/5)-(logx8/5)=0
rewriting it you get logx(8/5)/(8/5) or just logx1=0
once again the inverse would be 1=x^0 which tells me that x can be any given number.
Is this correct?
