Exponents are also known as powers. 3^3=27 you cant make this equation work with exponents. 1^5.5=1 15^.5 = 3.87

so are you sure its a exponent? only thing that would make this equation right is if it was 15.5? 5. I dont think anyone is going to guess this one though.

1^5.5=5 yes the answer would be that one .. congratulations anonymous Emotion: smile

Er........ something not quite right here Di Bueno

1^5.5 = 1 and not 5

in fact 1 to the power of any number will always return 1

I'm with the opinion of anonymous i don't think it can be done.

Well,let me explain like that;

The equation that we're talking over is 15.5=5. I said that "changing just one number's place u can make this equation correct".Firstly I took the 15's "5" and put it on the top of 1 as a power or exponent.whatever it is.And then five times one is one. That's what we get after the operation 1^5. and then 1.

Hi Dj Bueno

I think the confusion has arisen with the first problem with the layout of it.

I have taken it as 15. (point) 5=5 When in fact i think you meant 15 x 5=5 then the exponent 1^5 x5 =5 would be correct.

The second one should be a zero next to give 20.

You could flip the first "3" around and place it up to the next "3" to leave you with (one) or 1 8

Well thats the best i can come up with !!

Well Emotion: smile the answer would be "3! times 3". (3! = 3 times 2 times 1)
