Solve for 'p'
the equation is in the picture attached. can you explain the process? i know that the exponent of p = 0.5 but i don't know the process of finding it. i just guessed.
you in advance

One way to find is to notice that the part on the left hand side within the parentheses can be written as a square:



So you could write



Since these two expressions are equal, and the bases are the same, you know the exponents must be equal, with the exponent on the right hand side being 1. So , or .
