By definition of logarithm we get

x = 6 2.5 = 6 2 + 0.5 = 6 2 . 6 0.5 = 6 2 . 6 1 2 = 36 6 x={ 6 }^{ 2.5 }={ 6 }^{ 2+0.5 }={ 6 }^{ 2 }.{ 6 }^{ 0.5 }={ 6 }^{ 2 }.{ 6 }^{ \cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } }=36\sqrt { 6 }

Hence the answer.

very clean solution!

Holy cow,

x=6^2.5 right?

so x=6^(3/2)

x= 216^1/2

x= 6√6 Am I wrong?

2.5 = 5/2 ,

Not 3/2.

3/2 equals 1.5

Did it vai programming

include <iostream>

include <cmath>

include<stdio.h>

using namespace std;

int main() {

double a,x,val;


cout<<"Write the base number "; cin>>a; cout<<endl;

cout<<"Write down the number whose log you want  "; cin>>x; cout<<endl<<endl;

val=(log(x))/(log(a)); cout<<" log of "<<x<<"  is  "<<val<<endl;

double val2;

cout<<"Now if you want to calculate x from value then write down 1st the value "; cin>>val;

x=pow(a,val);

cout<<endl<<endl<<" x = "<<x<<endl;

return 0;

}

X=6^2.5 6^2.5 =6^5/2 = 6^2+1/2 -> x= 6^2•6^1/2 :. X=36√6

X = 6^(2.5) = 6^(2) x 6^(1/2) = 36sqrt(6)

log 6 _{6} x x = 2.5 2.5
x x = 6 2.5 6^{2.5}
and 6 2.5 6^{2.5} = 6 2 6^{2} x 6 0.5 6^{0.5} = 36 36 6 \sqrt{6}

by the algo 6^2.5=6^2 6^1/2=36 6^1/2

6 powered by 2.5, it just same like 6^2 x 6^0.5 = 36 V6 (V = root)

According to the relation,

x = 6^2.5 x = 6^(2+0.5) x = 6².6^(1/2) x = 36 × √6 x = 36√6

By logarithm definition,

log N to the base a <=> a^x=N By using this, we get...., 6^2.5= x => x= 36 * 6^1/2
