Question

1f a^ (b/2) = 25 for positive integers a and b , what is one possible value of b?

Answer 1

$a^{\frac{b}{2}}=25$

assuming we need the value of 'b' in terms a. We have to use logarithms to separate the two variables i mean b in terms of a.

$\log _a(25)\text{ = }\frac{b}{2}\rightarrow b\text{ =}2\log _a(25)$

Therefore this is the one possible answer for the b.
