X isn't a natural number

Algebra Level 1

If ( 125 ) x = 3125 { \left( 125 \right) }^{ x }=3125 , then x x equals :

5 3 \frac { 5 }{ 3 } 3 5 \frac { 3 }{ 5 } 1 5 \frac { 1 }{5} 1 4 \frac { 1 }{4}

There are 2 2 ways:

Method 1: If 12 5 x = 3125 125^{x}=3125 , x x must larger than 1 1 , so 5 3 \frac{5}{3} must be the answer.

Method 2:

( 125 ) x = 3125 \quad(125)^{x}=3125

5 3 x = 5 5 \Rightarrow 5^{3x}=5^{5}

3 x = 5 \Rightarrow 3x=5

x = 5 3 x= \boxed{\frac{5}{3}}

125^x = 3125

Log base(125) 3125 =x

Log base(5^3) 5^5 =x

Therefore x =5/3

( 125 ) x = 3125 \quad(125)^x=3125

5 3 x = 5 5 \Leftrightarrow 5^{3x}=5^5

3 x = 5 \Leftrightarrow 3x=5

x = 5 3 \Leftrightarrow x=\boxed{\dfrac{5}{3}}

12 5 x = 3125 ( 5 3 ) x = 5 5 5 3 x = 5 5 3 x = 5 x = 3 5 \displaystyle 125 ^ { x } = 3125 \leftrightarrow ( 5 ^ { 3 } ) ^ { x } = 5 ^ { 5 } \leftrightarrow 5 ^ { 3x } = 5 ^ { 5 } \Leftrightarrow 3x = 5 \Leftrightarrow \boxed { x = \boxed { \frac { 3 } { 5 } } } .

The answer is oviously greater than 1 1 which is satisfied by only one option which is 5 3 \color{#69047E}{\boxed{\dfrac{5}{3}}} .

(5³)ˣ = 5⁵ ⇒ 3x = 5 ⇒ x = 5/3

12 5 x = 5 3 x 125^x=5^{3x} and 3125 = 5 5 3125=5^5 5 3 x = 5 5 ( 5 3 x ) 1 3 = ( 5 5 ) 1 3 5 x = 5 5 3 \Rightarrow 5^{3x}=5^5 \Rightarrow (5^{3x})^{\frac{1}{3}}=(5^5)^{\frac{1}{3}} \Rightarrow 5^x=5^{\frac{5}{3}}

x = 5 3 \therefore \boxed{x=\frac{5}{3}}
