Find n if \(34_n= 10011_2\)
The correct answer is A. 5
Certainly! Let's solve the problem using the provided Mathjax formatting:
Given \(34_n = 10011_2\), we want to find the value of \(n\).
Converting \(34_n\) to base 10:
\[34_n = 3 \cdot n^1 + 4 \cdot n^0\]
Converting \(10011_2\) to base 10:
\[10011_2 = 1 \cdot 2^4 + 0 \cdot 2^3 + 0 \cdot 2^2 + 1 \cdot 2^1 + 1 \cdot 2^0\]
Setting the two expressions equal to each other:
\[3n + 4 = 16 + 2 + 1\]
Simplifying the equation:
\[3n + 4 = 19\]
Subtracting 4 from both sides:
\[3n = 15\]
Dividing both sides by 3:
\[n = 5\]
