Call an integer $n$ oddly powerful if there exist positive integers $a$ and $b$, where $b>1$, $b$ is odd, and $a^b = n$. How many oddly powerful integers are less than $2010$?

There are 16 oddly powerful integers less than 2010

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ b is an odd integer

∵ b > 1

∴ The first value of b is 3

∵ a is an integer

- We can use a = 1, 2, 3, ..........

∵

∵ n < 2010

- Let a = 1, 2, ............... 12 because 12³ is greatest integer  < 2010

∵ 1³ = 1, 2³ = 8, 3³ = 27, 4³ = 64, 5³ = 125, 6³ = 216, 7³ = 343,

   8³ = 512, 9³ = 729, 10³ = 1000, 11³ = 1331, 12³ = 1728

∴ There are 12 oddly powerful integers with b = 3

Now the second value of b is 5

but we took 1 before so we will start with 2

∵ , ,

- is the greatest integer < 2010

∴ There are 3 oddly powerful integers with b = 5

Now the third value of b is 7

∵

- is the greatest integer < 2010

∴ There is 1 oddly powerful integers with b = 7

Now the fourth value of b is 9

∵

- is the greatest integer < 2010

- But we used 512 before

∴ There is no oddly powerful integers with b = 9

- 9 is the greatest value of b which makes

∵ 12 + 3 + 1 = 16

∴ There are 16 oddly powerful integers less than 2010

the answers c

x =±sqrt(1/3)

step-by-step explanation:

x+4/6x=1/x

multiply each side by 6x to get rid of the fractions

6x*(x+4/6x)=1/x*6x

distribute

6x^2 +4 = 6

subtract 4 from each side

6x^2 +4-4 = 6-4

6x^2 =2

divide by 6

6x^2/6 = 2/6

x^2 = 1/3

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = ±sqrt(1/3)

x =±sqrt(1/3)
