Solve for $x.$ $$\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{x}=32$$
Added by Katrina H.
Step 1
Now, we can rewrite the equation as: $$\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{x} = 2^5$$ Since $\frac{1}{2} = 2^{-1}$, we can rewrite the equation as: $$\left(2^{-1}\right)^{x} = 2^5$$ Using the power of a power property, we get: Show more…
