well this problem i cant have it come out as a decimal teacher said theres a way to convert something but i dont know any help?
(2^32/300)+1

Well, the answer (if I'm not stupid) is
I'm not sure exactly how else you teacher wants you to write the number though?14316558.653
I doubt that can be turned into a neat fraction or anything, do you remember anything else she said?
well she said something like 3√2^2 earlyer that day but i wasnt pay attention![]()
I'm not clear if you mean
((2^32)/300) + 1 or
(2^(32/300)) + 1
Assuming you mean:
(2^(32/300)) + 1
Remember that:
√x = x^(1/2)
√(x^2) = x^(2/2) = x
So for any value raised to a power that is a fraction, you can rewrite it as a root, where the denominator is the degree of the root (square, cubic, etc), and the numerator is the power of the value inside the root. (I'm bad at explaining things)
So for your problem,
(2^32/300)+1,
=(2^(8/75))+1
=+ 1
Maybe that's what she wanted, because as YoHoJo pointed out, that's not likely to turn out a whole number or nice fraction.
If you meant the first one [((2^32)/300) + 1], then you basically need to get 300 as a power of two (dunno if you have learned this yet)...
300 = 2^x
x = log2(300)
= 8.289
((2^32)/300) + 1
= ((2^32)/(2^8.289))+1
= 2^(32-8.289) + 1
= 2^23.711 + 1
Although this is probably even more decimal-y than the other one![]()

(2^(32 / 300)) + 1 = 2.07673757
------------------------------------------
((2^32) / 300) + 1 = 14316558.7
------------------------------------------
There are couple different ways to calculate it... Don't know what you are looking for exactly...
just didn't know if the exponent was 32 or 32/300 ...
Would of been easier if you had more details...
