Full solution

Q. If 2a=257 2^{a}=\sqrt[7]{2^{5}} , what is the value of a a ?
  1. Given Equation: We are given the equation 2a=2572^{a} = \sqrt[7]{2^{5}}. To solve for aa, we need to express both sides of the equation with the same base and then compare the exponents.
  2. Express with Same Base: The 7th7^{th} root of 252^{5} can be written as (25)(1/7)(2^{5})^{(1/7)}. This uses the property that the nthn^{th} root of a number is the same as raising that number to the power of 1/n1/n.
  3. Simplify Right Side: Now we have 2a=(25)1/72^{a} = (2^{5})^{1/7}. Using the property of exponents that (xm)n=xmn(x^{m})^{n} = x^{m*n}, we can simplify the right side of the equation.
  4. Simplify Exponents: Simplify the right side of the equation: (25)17=2517=257(2^{5})^{\frac{1}{7}} = 2^{5 \cdot \frac{1}{7}} = 2^{\frac{5}{7}}.
  5. Set Exponents Equal: Now the equation is 2a=2572^{a} = 2^{\frac{5}{7}}. Since the bases are the same, we can set the exponents equal to each other. Therefore, a=57a = \frac{5}{7}.
