Hello there. I am trying to take a power of 1/7 of one variable but as a default it gives me 1 similar to if I was taking power of 0. How can I solve this problem. Thanks
Do I=2,N,1
X1=(Yr(I)/R)
X2=X1**(1/7)
Ua(I)=Um*X2
END DO
Your hint gave me an idea and I think I solved the problem. I put 1./7. to the equation and problem solved. Didn't notice it would roll it down to 0. Thank you very much.DrClaude said:What exactly did you write? I suspect that the 1/7 is being treated as an integer operation and rounded to 0.
I use integer division often. This operation and the modulus operation are useful in converting days to weeks and days, ounces to pounds and ounces, making change, and many other applications.rumborak said:If I ever designed a programming language, floating point division would be the default behavior. I do not recall the last time I actually used integer division.
Taking 1/7 power of a variable means raising the variable to the 1/7th power or finding the seventh root of the variable. This is a mathematical operation that involves finding the number that, when multiplied by itself seven times, gives the original variable.
To calculate the 1/7 power of a variable, you can use a calculator or perform the calculation manually. If using a calculator, enter the variable, press the exponent button, and then enter 1/7. If performing the calculation manually, you can use the rule of exponents which states that x^(a/b) = (b√x)^a. In this case, the seventh root of the variable is taken first, and then it is raised to the first power.
The significance of taking 1/7 power of a variable depends on the context in which it is used. In mathematics, it can help to simplify expressions and solve equations. In science, it can help to find the relationship between variables and make predictions. In finance, it can help to calculate interest rates and growth rates.
Yes, you can take 1/7 power of a negative variable. However, the result will depend on whether the exponent is odd or even. If the exponent is odd, the result will also be negative. If the exponent is even, the result will be positive. For example, (-2)^1/7 = -1.139 and (-2)^2/7 = 1.067.
No, taking 1/7 power and taking the seventh root of a variable are essentially the same operation. The only difference is in notation, where taking the 1/7 power is represented by using an exponent, and taking the seventh root is represented by using the radical symbol (√).
