I already did the previous algebra and i'm on this one step that I can't seem to get past.



$$6^{frac16}cdotfrac{2x^8}{15}=2x^b$$ solve for b

    Then you should have supplied parentheses to say that. Exponentiation takes precedence over division, so 6^1/6 is $(6^1)/6$ It should be 6^(1/6)

Presumably you are given $x$, so take the base $x$ log of both sides. The right is $b+log_x2$

    $frac{6^1}{6}$ is 1 so we are left with $frac{2x^8}{15}=2x^b$ which is equivalent to $frac{2x^8}{30}=x^b$. Now just rewrite with logaritms, so $b=log_{x}{frac{2x^8}{30}}$ .

      You could isolate $x^b$ first: $$6^{frac 16}frac{x^8}{15}=x^b$$.



      Then, to get $b$ out of the exponent, take $log_x$ of both sides.




      Get $b= log_x(6^{frac 16}frac{x^8}{15})$ or $b=log_xfrac{6^{frac16}}{15}+8$.

                                Can a sorcerer learn a 5th-level spell early by creating spell slots using the Font of Magic feature?

                                28 6 $begingroup$ Per the Font of Magic feature, sorcerer can use Flexible Casting to create 5th-level spell slots at level 7, even though they are not typically available until level 9. You can transform unexpended sorcery points into one spell slot as a bonus action on your turn. The Creating Spell Slots table shows the cost of creating a spell slot of [5th level is 7] If such a sorcerer levels up while still having this 5th-level spell slot, can they choose a 5th-level spell as the spell they gain upon levelling up? The Spellcasting feature states: Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the sorcerer spells you know and replace it with another spell from the sorcerer spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

On a failed save, the target takes 10d6 + 40 force damage. The target is disintegrated if this damage leaves it with 0 hit points. If you were to polymorph an enemy into a rat and then disintegrate it, would the enemy be disintegrated or would it just return to its original form?

It is claimed that $N$ is an integer, but why? Update 02/02/2019 I think I got an argument for $n=2$ . In this case, $U=e^{i varphi} q$ with $qin SU(2)$ . Due to the trace and the Levi-Civita symbol in $N$ , $varphi$ does not contribute to $N$ . As $Tr[q^{dagger}partial_i q]=0$ and $(q^{dagger}partial_i q)^{dagger}=-q^{dagger}partial_i q$ , $q^{dagger}partial_i q$ in geneeral has the form $q^{dagger}partia
