Algebra Level 1

8 + 8 + 8 + + 8 128 times = 2 × 2 × 2 × × 2 N times \large \underbrace{8 + 8 + 8 + \cdots + 8}_{\text{128 times}} = \underbrace{2\times2\times2\times\cdots \times 2}_{N \text{ times}}

What is N N ?


The answer is 10.

8 × 128 = 2 N 8 \times 128 = 2^N 2 3 × 2 7 = 2 N \Rightarrow 2^3 \times 2^7 = 2^N N = 10 \Rightarrow \large \color{#20A900}{\boxed{N=10}}

8=2^3, 128=2^7, 2^3*2^7=2^10, hence 10

128*8 = 1024

log_(2)1024 = 10

L.H.S = 8(128) = (2^3)(2^7) = 2^10
R.H.S = 2^N
R.H.S = L.H.S therefore,
N = 10.


L.H.S is left hand side, R.H.S is right hand side.

1024 = 2^n

N = log 1024 / log 2

N = 10

  • 128 128 × \times 8 8 = = 2 N 2^N
  • 2 7 × 2 3 = 2 N \Rightarrow 2^7 \times 2^3 = 2^N
  • 2 10 = 2 N \Rightarrow 2^{10} = 2^N
  • N = 10 \color{#D61F06}\boxed{N=10}

2^N=128×8

2^N=2^7×2^3

2^N=2^10

N=10
