Explanation:
Okay, so I need to figure out how many calories make up a person's daily caloric requirement if a snack-size tin of peaches has 40 calories and that's 2% of their daily need. Hmm, let me think.

First, I remember that percentages can be used to find parts of a whole. If 40 calories represent 2% of the total daily calories, then I need to find what number (let's call it X) is such that 2% of X equals 40.

So, translating that into math, it would be 2% of X = 40. To write that as an equation, percentages are out of 100, so 2% is the same as 0.02 in decimal form. Therefore, the equation is 0.02 * X = 40.

Now, to solve for X, I need to divide both sides of the equation by 0.02. That should give me X = 40 / 0.02. Let me do that calculation.

Dividing by 0.02 is the same as multiplying by 50, right? Because 1 divided by 0.02 is 50. So 40 times 50... Let me compute that. 40 * 50 is 2000. Wait, so does that mean the daily caloric requirement is 2000 calories?

Let me check my steps again to make sure I didn't make a mistake. Starting with 2% of the daily calories is 40. So 2% is 0.02, so 0.02 * X = 40. Solving for X gives X = 40 / 0.02.

Yes, 40 divided by 0.02. Let me do that division another way to confirm. If I have 40 divided by 0.02, I can multiply numerator and denominator by 100 to eliminate the decimal. That would be (40 * 100) / (0.02 * 100) = 4000 / 2 = 2000. Yep, same result.

So that seems to check out. Therefore, the person's daily caloric requirement is 2000 calories.

But wait, just to make sure, let me think about it in another way. If 2% is 40 calories, then 1% would be 40 divided by 2, which is 20 calories. Then, 100% would be 20 calories times 100, which is 2000. Yep, that also gives me 2000.

So both methods give me the same answer, so I think that's solid.

I guess another way to think about it is if 2% equals 40, then 1% is 20, so 100% is 20*100=2000.

Alternatively, if I set up a proportion: 2/100 = 40/X. Cross-multiplying gives 2X = 40*100, so 2X = 4000, so X = 2000.

All these different approaches lead me to the same answer. So I think that's correct.

Therefore, the daily caloric requirement is 2000 calories.

**Final Answer**
The person's daily caloric requirement is \boxed{2000} calories.

To determine a person's daily caloric requirement, we are given that a snack-size tin of peaches contains **40 calories**, which represents **2%** of their daily caloric intake.

---

### Step 1: Understand the Relationship

We are told that:

$$
2\% \text{ of daily calories} = 40 \text{ calories}
$$

This can be expressed mathematically as:

$$
0.02 \times X = 40
$$

Where $ X $ is the total daily caloric requirement.

---

### Step 2: Solve for $ X $

To isolate $ X $, divide both sides of the equation by 0.02:

$$
X = \frac{40}{0.02}
$$

Now, perform the division:

$$
X = 2000
$$

---

### Step 3: Verify the Result

To double-check, we can reverse the calculation:

- If 2% of the daily requirement is 40 calories, then 1% is:

$$
\frac{40}{2} = 20 \text{ calories}
$$

- Therefore, 100% (the full daily requirement) is:

$$
20 \times 100 = 2000 \text{ calories}
$$

This confirms our result.

### Final Answer

$$
\boxed{2000}

Explanation:
Okay, so I need to compute 99 squared plus 99 plus 1. Let me think about how to do this mentally. Hmm, 99 is a number close to 100, which might make things easier. Maybe I can use some algebraic identities or break it down into parts. Let me start by recalling that (a - b)^2 is a^2 - 2ab + b^2. But here, I have 99 squared. Let me write that down:

First, compute 99². Since 99 is 100 - 1, maybe I can use the formula (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b². Let me try that. Let a = 100 and b = 1. Then:

(100 - 1)² = 100² - 2*100*1 + 1² = 10000 - 200 + 1. Let me calculate that. 10000 minus 200 is 9800, and then plus 1 is 9801. So 99² is 9801. Okay, that seems right. Let me check with another method just to be sure. If I do 100*99 = 9900, then subtract 99, which would be 9900 - 99 = 9801. Yep, same result. Good.

So 99² is 9801. Now the problem is 99² + 99 + 1. So that would be 9801 + 99 + 1. Let me compute that step by step. First, add 9801 and 99. Let me think. 9801 + 99. Well, 9801 + 99 is the same as 9801 + 100 - 1. Which is 9901 - 1 = 9900. Wait, is that right? Let me check. 9801 + 99. If I add 99 to 9801, I can think of it as adding 100 and then subtracting 1. So 9801 + 100 = 9901, then subtract 1 gives 9900. Yes, that's correct. So 9801 + 99 = 9900. Then add the remaining 1. So 9900 + 1 = 9901. Therefore, the total is 9901.

Wait, but let me verify again. Maybe there's another way to approach the original problem. Let me see. The original expression is 99² + 99 + 1. Maybe I can factor something out? Let me try. Let's see, 99² + 99 + 1. If I factor 99 from the first two terms, I get 99*(99 + 1) + 1. Which is 99*100 + 1. That's 9900 + 1 = 9901. Oh, that's a much simpler way! So that's another way to think about it. Instead of calculating 99 squared first, I can factor 99 out of the first two terms. That seems more straightforward.

So, either way, whether I compute 99 squared first and then add 99 and 1, or factor 99 out of the first two terms, I end up with 9901. Let me check once more with another method. Maybe using the formula for a geometric series or something else? Wait, not sure. Alternatively, maybe think of 99² + 99 + 1 as part of a larger formula. For example, if I consider numbers in the form of n² + n + 1. But I don't recall a specific formula for that.

Alternatively, maybe think of 99² + 99 + 1 as (99² + 99) + 1. Which is 99*(99 + 1) + 1, which again is 99*100 + 1 = 9900 + 1 = 9901. Yep, same result.

Alternatively, if I didn't remember the factoring trick, maybe I could think of 99² + 99 + 1 as (99 + 0.5)^2 + something? Wait, maybe not necessary. Let me just confirm with actual multiplication. Let me compute 99*99 again. 99*99. Well, 100*99 is 9900, minus 1*99 is 99, so 9900 - 99 = 9801. Then adding 99 gives 9801 + 99 = 9900, then adding 1 gives 9901.

Alternatively, if I think of 99² + 99 + 1 as 99² + 99 + 1. Maybe I can think of it as (99^3 - 1)/(99 - 1) or something? Wait, that's the formula for the sum of a geometric series. Let me recall: a^3 - 1 = (a - 1)(a² + a + 1). Therefore, a² + a + 1 = (a^3 - 1)/(a - 1). So if I take a = 99, then 99² + 99 + 1 = (99³ - 1)/ (99 - 1) = (99³ - 1)/98. But I don't know if that helps me compute it mentally. Because I would need to compute 99³, which is 970299, then subtract 1 to get 970298, then divide by 98. Let me check if that gives me 9901.

So 970298 divided by 98. Let me compute that. Well, 98*10000 = 980000. Which is larger than 970298. So 98*9900 = 98*(10000 - 100) = 980000 - 9800 = 970200. Then 970298 - 970200 = 98. So 98*9900 + 98 = 98*(9900 + 1) = 98*9901. Therefore, (99³ - 1)/98 = 9901. Therefore, that also gives me 9901. So that's another way to see it. But that seems more complicated than the previous methods.

But regardless, all methods point to the answer being 9901. Let me just check with another approach. Let me compute 99² + 99 + 1 step by step again.

First, 99 squared. As before, 99*99. Let me do it as (100 - 1)*(100 - 1) = 100*100 - 2*100*1 + 1*1 = 10000 - 200 + 1 = 9801. Then add 99: 9801 + 99. Let me add 9801 + 99. 9801 + 99 = 9801 + 100 - 1 = 9901 - 1 = 9900. Then add 1: 9900 + 1 = 9901. Yep, same result.

Alternatively, if I add 99 + 1 first, that would be 100. Then the expression becomes 99² + 100. Which is 9801 + 100 = 9901. Oh, that's even simpler! So 99² + 99 + 1 = 99² + (99 + 1) = 99² + 100. Which is 9801 + 100 = 9901.

So that's another way to think about it. Grouping the last two terms first. So that's even more straightforward.

Therefore, regardless of the method I use, I keep getting 9901. I think that's solid. Let me just check with a calculator to be 100% sure, but since I can't use a calculator, I need to be confident in my mental math.

Wait, let me think of another way. Let me compute 99^2 + 99 + 1. Let me think of 99 as x. Then the expression is x² + x + 1. If x = 99, then x² + x + 1. But maybe I can compute x² + x + 1 as x(x + 1) + 1. Which is 99*100 + 1 = 9900 + 1 = 9901. Yep, same thing.

Alternatively, if I think of x² + x + 1, maybe I can relate it to (x + 1)^2 - x. Let me check: (x + 1)^2 = x² + 2x + 1. Therefore, (x + 1)^2 - x = x² + 2x + 1 - x = x² + x + 1. So indeed, x² + x + 1 = (x + 1)^2 - x. Therefore, substituting x = 99, we get (99 + 1)^2 - 99 = 100² - 99 = 10000 - 99 = 9901. Oh, that's another way to look at it! So that's even more elegant.

So, using that identity, we can compute it as 100 squared minus 99, which is 10000 - 99 = 9901. That's super straightforward.

So, in summary, there are multiple ways to approach this problem:

1. Compute 99² directly using (100 - 1)², then add 99 and 1.
2. Factor 99 out of the first two terms, resulting in 99*100 + 1.
3. Recognize the expression as (x + 1)^2 - x where x = 99, leading to 100² - 99.
4. Group the last two terms first, turning it into 99² + 100.

All methods lead to the same answer, 9901. Therefore, I can be confident that the result is correct.

**Final Answer**
The value of $99^2 + 99 + 1$ is \boxed{9901}.

To compute the expression $99^2 + 99 + 1$ efficiently, we can use algebraic manipulation and properties of numbers close to 100.

### Step 1: Recognize the structure of the expression

We are given:

$$
99^2 + 99 + 1
$$

This can be rewritten as:

$$
99^2 + 99 + 1 = 99^2 + (99 + 1)
$$

Now, observe that $99 + 1 = 100$, so the expression becomes:

$$
99^2 + 100
$$

---

### Step 2: Compute $99^2$

We can use the identity:

$$
(100 - 1)^2 = 100^2 - 2 \cdot 100 \cdot 1 + 1^2 = 10000 - 200 + 1 = 9801
$$

So:

$$
99^2 = 9801
$$

---

### Step 3: Add 100

Now, add 100 to the result:

$$
9801 + 100 = 9901
$$

---

### Final Answer

$$
\boxed{9901}

### Step 3: Add 100

Now, add 100 to the result:

$$
9801 + 100 = 9901
$$

$$

Solution:
Factoring the first two terms, we have:

$99^2+99+1=99(99+1)+1=99\cdot 100+1=9900+1=\boxed{9901}$.


Explanation:
Okay, so I need to figure out what 1 raised to the power of (2^235423523) is. Hmm, let me start by recalling some basic exponent rules.

First off, any number raised to a power is just that number multiplied by itself that many times. But when the base is 1, things might be simpler. Wait, 1 multiplied by itself any number of times is still 1, right? Like 1^2 is 1, 1^3 is 1, and so on. So no matter how many times you multiply 1 by itself, the result is always 1.

But hold on, the exponent here is a huge number: 2 raised to the power of 235423523. That's an astronomically large exponent. But does that even matter? Because regardless of how big the exponent is, if the base is 1, the result should still be 1.

Let me check with smaller numbers to make sure. Let's take 1^10. That's 1. 1^100 is also 1. Even 1^1,000,000 is 1. So no matter how big the exponent, as long as the base is 1, the result is 1.

Is there any case where 1 raised to some power isn't 1? Well, if the exponent is 0, then 1^0 is 1, right? Wait, actually, 1^0 is 1, but 0^0 is undefined. But in this case, the exponent is definitely not zero. It's 2 raised to a huge number, which is definitely a positive integer. So we don't have to worry about 0^0 here.

Another thing to consider: sometimes in mathematics, especially with limits, you might have expressions that approach 1 raised to an infinite power, which can be an indeterminate form. But in this case, we're not dealing with a limit. We're dealing with an exact value. The exponent is a specific, finite number, even though it's very large.

So, in conclusion, 1 raised to any positive integer power is 1. Therefore, 1^(2^235423523) should be 1.

Wait, but let me make sure there isn't some trick here. The problem is written as 1^(2^235423523). Is there a possibility that the exponent is being interpreted differently? Like, maybe order of operations? But exponentiation is right-associative, so 2^235423523 is evaluated first, and then 1 is raised to that power. So yeah, the exponent is definitely a huge number, but as discussed, it doesn't affect the result.

Alternatively, could there be some context where 1^something isn't 1? For example, in modular arithmetic? But the problem doesn't mention any modulus. It just asks for the value of 1 raised to that power. So unless specified otherwise, we can assume it's in the standard integers.

Another thought: sometimes in computer science, exponents can be represented differently, but again, unless specified, we're dealing with standard mathematics.

So, I think I can confidently say that the answer is 1.

**Final Answer**
\boxed{1}

To evaluate the expression $ 1^{(2^{235423523})} $, we begin by analyzing the properties of exponentiation, particularly when the base is 1.

---

### Step 1: Understanding the Base

The base of the expression is **1**. In mathematics, any number raised to a power is the number multiplied by itself that many times. However, when the base is **1**, the result of the exponentiation is always **1**, regardless of the exponent. This is because:

$$
1^n = 1 \quad \text{for any integer } n \geq 0
$$

This rule holds true even when the exponent is extremely large or complex, as long as it is a valid integer.

---

### Step 2: Analyzing the Exponent

The exponent in this case is $ 2^{235423523} $, which is an astronomically large number. However, the key point is that this exponent is a **positive integer**. There is no ambiguity or undefined behavior here, as the exponent is well-defined and finite.

Even though the exponent is huge, the base is still 1, and the rule $ 1^n = 1 $ applies regardless of the size of the exponent.

---

### Step 3: Final Evaluation

Given that:

- The base is 1
- The exponent is a positive integer (even though it's very large)

We can conclude:

$$
1^{(2^{235423523})} = 1
$$

### Final Answer

Explanation:
Okay, so I need to solve the equation 2^8 = 4^x and find the value of x. Hmm, let me think. Both sides of the equation have exponents, but the bases are different: one is 2 and the other is 4. Maybe I can rewrite both sides with the same base? That usually helps when dealing with exponential equations.

Wait, 4 is a power of 2, right? Specifically, 4 is 2 squared. So maybe I can express 4^x in terms of base 2. Let me try that.

If I rewrite 4 as 2^2, then 4^x would be (2^2)^x. Now, using the exponent rule (a^b)^c = a^(b*c), that would become 2^(2x). So substituting back into the original equation, we have 2^8 = 2^(2x).

Since the bases are now the same and both sides are equal, their exponents must be equal as well. That means 8 = 2x. To solve for x, I can divide both sides of the equation by 2.

So, 8 divided by 2 is 4, which means x equals 4. Let me check if that makes sense. If x is 4, then 4^4 is (2^2)^4, which is 2^(2*4) = 2^8. And the left side is 2^8, so both sides are equal. Yep, that checks out.

Wait, just to make sure I didn't make any mistakes in my steps. Let me go through it again. Original equation: 2^8 = 4^x. Express 4 as 2^2, so 4^x becomes (2^2)^x. Applying the power rule, that's 2^(2x). Therefore, 2^8 = 2^(2x). Since the bases are equal, set the exponents equal: 8 = 2x. Solving for x gives x = 4.

Another way to think about it: maybe using logarithms? Let me try that method to confirm. Taking the logarithm of both sides. Let's use natural logarithm, but any base would work.

ln(2^8) = ln(4^x). Using the logarithm power rule, that becomes 8*ln(2) = x*ln(4). Then, solving for x gives x = (8*ln(2))/ln(4).

But ln(4) is ln(2^2) which is 2*ln(2). So substituting that in, x = (8*ln(2))/(2*ln(2)) = 8/2 = 4. Same result. Okay, so that confirms it again.

Alternatively, maybe I can use common logarithms. Let's try log base 10.

log(2^8) = log(4^x). Which is 8*log(2) = x*log(4). Then x = 8*log(2)/log(4). Again, log(4) is log(2^2) = 2*log(2). Therefore, x = 8*log(2)/(2*log(2)) = 4. Yep, same answer.

So regardless of the method, I get x = 4. That seems pretty solid.

Wait, just to make sure I didn't confuse the exponents. Let me compute both sides numerically.

Left side: 2^8 is 256.

Right side: 4^x. If x is 4, then 4^4 is 256. So 256 = 256. Perfect, that's correct.

Alternatively, if I tried a different x, say x=3, then 4^3 is 64, which is not 256. If x=5, 4^5 is 1024, which is too big. So x=4 is indeed the correct value.

Is there another way to approach this? Maybe by recognizing that 2^8 is equal to 4^x, so since 4 is 2 squared, then 4^x is 2^(2x). Therefore, 2^8 = 2^(2x) implies 8=2x, so x=4.

Yeah, that's the same as before.

I think I've verified it multiple ways: converting the bases, using logarithms, checking numerically. All lead to x=4. I don't see any mistakes in my reasoning.

So, the answer should be 4.

**Final Answer**
The value of $ x $ is \boxed{4}.

To solve the equation $ 2^8 = 4^x $, we begin by recognizing that both sides involve exponents, but with different bases. The key to solving this is to express both sides with the same base, which will allow us to equate the exponents directly.

---

### Step 1: Express both sides with the same base

We know that:

$$
4 = 2^2
$$

So, we can rewrite the right-hand side of the equation:

$$
4^x = (2^2)^x
$$

Using the exponent rule $ (a^b)^c = a^{bc} $, this becomes:

$$
(2^2)^x = 2^{2x}
$$

Now the equation becomes:

$$
2^8 = 2^{2x}
$$

---

### Step 2: Equate the exponents

Since the bases are the same and the expressions are equal, their exponents must be equal:

$$
8 = 2x
$$

---

### Step 3: Solve for $ x $

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

$$
x = \frac{8}{2} = 4
$$

---

### Step 4: Verify the solution

Let’s verify by substituting $ x = 4 $ back into the original equation:

- Left-hand side: $ 2^8 = 256 $
- Right-hand side: $ 4^4 = (2^2)^4 = 2^{2 \cdot 4} = 2^8 = 256 $

Both sides are equal, confirming that the solution is correct.

### Final Answer

\boxed{4}

Explanation:
Okay, so I need to find the value of x that makes the equation 2³ times 3^x equal to 72. Let me start by writing down the equation again to make sure I have it right: 2³ * 3^x = 72. Alright, let me think about how to approach this.

First, I know that 2³ is 8, right? Because 2 multiplied by itself three times is 2*2*2, which is 8. So maybe I can simplify the left side of the equation by calculating 2³ first. Let me do that.

So replacing 2³ with 8, the equation becomes 8 * 3^x = 72. Now, I need to solve for x. Hmm, how do I isolate x here? Well, since 3^x is being multiplied by 8, I can divide both sides of the equation by 8 to get 3^x by itself. Let me try that.

Dividing both sides by 8 gives me 3^x = 72 / 8. Let me calculate 72 divided by 8. 8 times 9 is 72, so 72 divided by 8 is 9. So now the equation simplifies to 3^x = 9.

Okay, so now I need to solve 3^x = 9. I remember that 3 squared is 9, right? Because 3*3 is 9. So if 3^x equals 9, then x must be 2. Let me check that.

If x is 2, then substituting back into the original equation: 2³ * 3². 2³ is 8, and 3² is 9. Multiplying those together: 8*9. Let me do that multiplication. 8*9 is 72, which matches the right side of the equation. So that works.

Wait, but let me make sure there isn't another way to approach this problem, just to confirm. Maybe using logarithms? I remember that logarithms can be used to solve equations where the variable is in the exponent. Let me try that method too.

Starting again from 3^x = 9. Taking the logarithm of both sides. I can use natural logarithm or logarithm base 10. Let me use natural logarithm for this example. So ln(3^x) = ln(9). Using the logarithm power rule, which says that ln(a^b) = b*ln(a), so this becomes x*ln(3) = ln(9). Therefore, solving for x gives x = ln(9)/ln(3).

Now, let me compute that. I know that ln(9) is the natural logarithm of 9, and ln(3) is the natural logarithm of 3. But 9 is 3 squared, so ln(9) is ln(3²) which is 2*ln(3). Therefore, substituting back into the equation, x = (2*ln(3))/ln(3) = 2. So that also gives x = 2.

Okay, so both methods give me the same answer, which is reassuring. Let me check once more by substituting x = 2 into the original equation.

Original equation: 2³ * 3^x = 72. Plugging in x = 2: 2³ is 8, 3² is 9, 8*9 is 72. Yep, that's exactly the right-hand side. So that checks out.

Is there any other possible value of x that could satisfy this equation? Well, since 3^x is an exponential function, it's one-to-one, meaning that there's only one solution for x. So x = 2 is the unique solution.

Alternatively, maybe I can factor 72 into its prime factors and see if that helps. Let me try that.

Breaking down 72 into prime factors. 72 divided by 2 is 36, divided by 2 again is 18, divided by 2 again is 9, and then 9 is 3 squared. So the prime factorization of 72 is 2³ * 3².

Wait a second, that's exactly the left side of the equation! The original equation is 2³ * 3^x = 72, and the prime factorization of 72 is 2³ * 3². Therefore, comparing both sides, 3^x must equal 3², so x is 2.

Oh, that's another way to see it. So by factoring 72, I can directly compare the exponents of the same bases. Since both sides have the same base 2 with exponent 3, the exponents of base 3 must be equal, so x is 2.

So all three methods—direct substitution, logarithms, and prime factorization—lead me to the same answer, x = 2.

I think that's thorough enough. I considered different approaches to solve the equation and verified the answer through multiple methods. Each time, I arrived at x = 2, and substituting back into the original equation confirmed that it's correct.

Just to recap the steps clearly:

1. Start with 2³ * 3^x = 72.
2. Calculate 2³ = 8, so equation becomes 8 * 3^x = 72.
3. Divide both sides by 8: 3^x = 9.
4. Recognize that 9 is 3², so x = 2.
5. Verified using logarithms and prime factorization, both leading to x = 2.
6. Checked substitution back into original equation, which holds true.

Therefore, I can confidently say that the value of x is 2.

**Final Answer**
The value of $ x $ is \boxed{2}.

To solve the equation:

$$
2^3 \cdot 3^x = 72
$$

we begin by simplifying the left-hand side. Since $ 2^3 = 8 $, the equation becomes:

$$
8 \cdot 3^x = 72
$$

---

### Step 1: Isolate the exponential term

Divide both sides of the equation by 8:

$$
3^x = \frac{72}{8} = 9
$$

---

### Step 2: Solve the exponential equation

We now have:

$$
3^x = 9
$$

Recognizing that $ 9 = 3^2 $, we can rewrite the equation as:

$$
3^x = 3^2
$$

Since the bases are the same, the exponents must be equal:

$$
x = 2
$$

---

### Step 3: Verify the solution

Substitute $ x = 2 $ back into the original equation:

$$
2^3 \cdot 3^2 = 8 \cdot 9 = 72
$$

This matches the right-hand side of the equation, confirming that the solution is correct.

---

### Alternative Verification via Logarithms

We can also solve the equation using logarithms. Starting from:

$$
3^x = 9
$$

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

$$
\ln(3^x) = \ln(9)
$$

Apply the logarithmic identity $ \ln(a^b) = b \ln(a) $:

$$
x \ln(3) = \ln(9)
$$

Since $ 9 = 3^2 $, we have $ \ln(9) = \ln(3^2) = 2 \ln(3) $, so:

$$
x \ln(3) = 2 \ln(3)
$$

Divide both sides by $ \ln(3) $ (which is non-zero):

$$
x = 2
$$

---

### Final Answer

$$
\boxed{2}

Okay, so I need to find the value of x that makes the equation 2³ times 3^x equal to 72. Let me start by writing down the equation again to make sure I have it right: 2³ * 3^x = 72. Alright, let me think about how to approach this.

So replacing 2³ with 8, the equation becomes 8 * 3^x = 72. Now, I need to solve for x. Hmm, how do I isolate x here? Well, since 3^x is being multiplied by 8, I can divide both sides of the equation by 8 to get 3^x by itself. Let me try that.

Dividing both sides by 8 gives me 3^x = 72 / 8. Let me calculate 72 divided by 8. 8 times 9 is 72, so 72 divided by 8 is 9. So now the equation simplifies to 3^x = 9.

Okay, so now I need to solve 3^x = 9. I remember that 3 squared is 9, right? Because 3*3 is 9. So if 3^x equals 9, then x must be 2. Let me check that.

If x is 2, then substituting back into the original equation: 2³ * 3². 2³ is 8, and 3² is 9. Multiplying those together: 8*9. Let me do that multiplication. 8*9 is 72, which matches the right side of the equation. So that works.

Now, let me compute that. I know that ln(9) is the natural logarithm of 9, and ln(3) is the natural logarithm of 3. But 9 is 3 squared, so ln(9) is ln(3²) which is 2*ln(3). Therefore, substituting back into the equation, x = (2*ln(3))/ln(3) = 2. So that also gives x = 2.

Okay, so both methods give me the same answer, which is reassuring. Let me check once more by substituting x = 2 into the original equation.

Original equation: 2³ * 3^x = 72. Plugging in x = 2: 2³ is 8, 3² is 9, 8*9 is 72. Yep, that's exactly the right-hand side. So that checks out.

Alternatively, maybe I can factor 72 into its prime factors and see if that helps. Let me try that.

Breaking down 72 into prime factors. 72 divided by 2 is 36, divided by 2 again is 18, divided by 2 again is 9, and then 9 is 3 squared. So the prime factorization of 72 is 2³ * 3².

Wait a second, that's exactly the left side of the equation! The original equation is 2³ * 3^x = 72, and the prime factorization of 72 is 2³ * 3². Therefore, comparing both sides, 3^x must equal 3², so x is 2.

Oh, that's another way to see it. So by factoring 72, I can directly compare the exponents of the same bases. Since both sides have the same base 2 with exponent 3, the exponents of base 3 must be equal, so x is 2.

So all three methods—direct substitution, logarithms, and prime factorization—lead me to the same answer, x = 2.

I think that's thorough enough. I considered different approaches to solve the equation and verified the answer through multiple methods. Each time, I arrived at x = 2, and substituting back into the original equation confirmed that it's correct.

Just to recap the steps clearly:

1. Start with 2³ * 3^x = 72.
2. Calculate 2³ = 8, so equation becomes 8 * 3^x = 72.
3. Divide both sides by 8: 3^x = 9.
4. Recognize that 9 is 3², so x = 2.
5. Verified using logarithms and prime factorization, both leading to x = 2.
6. Checked substitution back into original equation, which holds true.

Therefore, I can confidently say that the value of x is 2.

**Final Answer**
The value of $ x $ is \boxed{2}.

To solve the equation:

$$
2^3 \cdot 3^x = 72
$$

we begin by simplifying the left-hand side. Since $ 2^3 = 8 $, the equation becomes:

$$
8 \cdot 3^x = 72
$$

---

### Step 1: Isolate the exponential term

Divide both sides of the equation by 8:

$$
3^x = \frac{72}{8} = 9
$$

---

### Step 2: Solve the exponential equation

We now have:

$$
3^x = 9
$$

Recognizing that $ 9 = 3^2 $, we can rewrite the equation as:

$$
3^x = 3^2
$$

Since the bases are the same, the exponents must be equal:

$$
x = 2
$$

---

### Step 3: Verify the solution

Substitute $ x = 2 $ back into the original equation:

$$
2^3 \cdot 3^2 = 8 \cdot 9 = 72
$$

This matches the right-hand side of the equation, confirming that the solution is correct.

---

### Alternative Verification via Logarithms

We can also solve the equation using logarithms. Starting from:

$$
3^x = 9
$$

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

$$
\ln(3^x) = \ln(9)
$$

Apply the logarithmic identity $ \ln(a^b) = b \ln(a) $:

$$
x \ln(3) = \ln(9)
$$

Since $ 9 = 3^2 $, we have $ \ln(9) = \ln(3^2) = 2 \ln(3) $, so:

$$
x \ln(3) = 2 \ln(3)
$$

Divide both sides by $ \ln(3) $ (which is non-zero):

$$
x = 2
$$

---

### Final Answer

$$
\boxed{2}
$$

Solution: Since the prime factorization of 72 is $72=2^3\cdot 3^2$, we have $x=\boxed{2}$.


Explanation:
Okay, so I need to figure out how many different outfits I can make with the given clothes. Let me start by understanding the problem.

I have 5 shirts, 6 pairs of pants, and 8 hats. An outfit consists of one shirt, one pair of pants, and one hat. So, I need to find the total number of possible combinations.

Hmm, let me think. When I have multiple choices for different items, and I need to combine them, I think this is a problem about the multiplication principle in combinatorics. The multiplication principle says that if there are n ways to do something and m ways to do another thing independently, then there are n × m ways to do both.

So, applying that here, for each shirt I choose, I can pair it with any of the pants and any of the hats. So, maybe I should multiply the number of shirts by the number of pants and then by the number of hats? Let me check that logic.

Let me break it down step by step. First, how many choices do I have for shirts? 5. For each of those shirts, how many pants can I pair them with? 6. So, for each shirt, there are 6 different pants. So, the number of shirt and pants combinations would be 5 shirts × 6 pants = 30 combinations.

Then, for each of those 30 combinations, how many hats can I add? There are 8 hats. So, for each shirt-pants combo, I can choose any of the 8 hats. Therefore, the total number of outfits would be 30 × 8. Let me calculate that.

30 × 8 is 240. So, does that mean there are 240 different outfits?

Wait, let me make sure I didn't miss anything. The problem says "one shirt, one pair of pants, and one hat." So, each outfit must have exactly one of each. There's no mention of any restrictions, like certain shirts not going with certain pants or hats. So, all combinations are allowed.

Therefore, the total number of outfits is indeed the product of the number of shirts, pants, and hats.

Alternatively, I can think of it as three separate choices: shirt, pants, hat. For each choice, the number of options is independent. So, the total number of outfits is 5 × 6 × 8.

Let me compute that again. 5 times 6 is 30, and 30 times 8 is 240. Yep, same result.

Is there another way to approach this? Maybe by considering permutations or combinations? But since we are choosing one of each category, and the order doesn't matter within the outfit (i.e., the outfit is just a combination of shirt, pants, and hat, not ordered in any particular way), it's not a permutation problem.

Combinations usually refer to selecting items without regard to order, but here we are selecting one item from each category. So, the multiplication principle is the right approach here.

Another way to think about it: imagine building an outfit step by step. First, pick a shirt. There are 5 options. Then, for each shirt, pick pants. There are 6 options. Then, for each of those, pick a hat. There are 8 options. So, the total number is 5 * 6 * 8.

Alternatively, if I think of it as a tree. Each shirt branches into 6 pants, and each of those branches into 8 hats. So, the total number of paths from the root (no clothes) to the leaves (complete outfit) would be 5 * 6 * 8.

I think that's solid. Let me check if there's any chance I overcounted or undercounted.

Suppose I have 5 shirts. Let's say shirt A, B, C, D, E. For each shirt, 6 pants: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. For each of those, 8 hats: 1 to 8.

So, for shirt A, pants 1, I can have hats 1-8: 8 outfits. Similarly, shirt A, pants 2, also 8 outfits. So, for shirt A, total is 6 pants * 8 hats = 48. Then, same for shirt B, C, D, E. So, total is 5 shirts * 48 = 240.

Yes, that's the same as before.

Alternatively, if I think of it as 5 * 6 = 30 shirt-pants combinations, and then 30 * 8 = 240.

So, all methods lead to 240.

I don't see any restrictions mentioned in the problem. For example, if there were some shirts that couldn't be worn with certain pants or hats, we would have to adjust for that. But since there are no such restrictions, all combinations are valid.

Therefore, the answer should be 240.

Wait, just to make sure, let me think of a smaller example. Suppose I have 2 shirts, 3 pants, and 4 hats. Then, according to this logic, the number of outfits would be 2*3*4=24. Let me verify.

Shirts: A, B. Pants: 1, 2, 3. Hats: 1, 2, 3, 4.

For shirt A:

- Pants 1: hats 1-4 (4)

- Pants 2: hats 1-4 (4)

- Pants 3: hats 1-4 (4)

Total for shirt A: 12

Similarly for shirt B: 12

Total: 24. Yep, that works.

So, scaling up, with 5, 6, 8, it's 5*6*8=240.

Therefore, I think that's correct.

Another check: if I have 1 shirt, 1 pair of pants, 1 hat, then the number of outfits is 1. Which is 1*1*1=1. Correct.

If I have 2 shirts, 1 pair of pants, 1 hat: 2*1*1=2. Which makes sense.

So, the formula holds.

Therefore, I can be confident that the answer is 240.

**Final Answer**
The number of possible outfits is \boxed{240}.

To determine the total number of possible outfits, we are given the following:

- **5 shirts**
- **6 pairs of pants**
- **8 hats**

Each outfit consists of **one shirt**, **one pair of pants**, and **one hat**. Since the choices are independent (i.e., the selection of a shirt does not affect the selection of pants or hats), we can apply the **multiplication principle** from combinatorics.

---

### Step-by-Step Breakdown:

1. **Choose a shirt**: There are 5 options.
2. **Choose a pair of pants**: For each shirt, there are 6 options.
3. **Choose a hat**: For each shirt-pants combination, there are 8 options.

So, the total number of possible outfits is:

$$
\text{Total Outfits} = (\text{Number of Shirts}) \times (\text{Number of Pants}) \times (\text{Number of Hats})
$$

$$
\text{Total Outfits} = 5 \times 6 \times 8
$$

$$
\text{Total Outfits} = 240
$$

Explanation:
Okay, so I need to solve the equation |5x - 1| = x + 3 and find the largest value of x that satisfies it. Hmm, absolute value equations can sometimes be tricky because they can split into two different cases. Let me recall how to handle them.

First, the absolute value |a| equals b means that either a = b or a = -b, right? But I also have to remember that b has to be non-negative because absolute value is always non-negative. So in this case, the right side of the equation is x + 3. That means x + 3 must be greater than or equal to zero. So maybe I should start by considering that condition.

Let me write down the equation again: |5x - 1| = x + 3.

So, first, I need to make sure that x + 3 ≥ 0. That would mean x ≥ -3. So any solution I find must satisfy x ≥ -3. Got it.

Now, moving on to solving the absolute value equation. The equation |5x - 1| = x + 3 can be split into two separate equations:

1) 5x - 1 = x + 3
2) -(5x - 1) = x + 3

Let me solve each equation separately and then check the solutions to make sure they satisfy the original equation and the condition x ≥ -3.

Starting with the first equation: 5x - 1 = x + 3.

Subtract x from both sides: 5x - x - 1 = 3 → 4x - 1 = 3.

Then add 1 to both sides: 4x = 4.

Divide both sides by 4: x = 1.

Okay, so x = 1 is a potential solution. Now let me check if this satisfies the original equation.

Left side: |5(1) - 1| = |5 - 1| = |4| = 4.

Right side: 1 + 3 = 4.

Yes, both sides are equal. So x = 1 is a valid solution.

Now moving on to the second equation: -(5x - 1) = x + 3.

Let me simplify the left side first. Distribute the negative sign: -5x + 1 = x + 3.

Now, let me solve for x. Subtract x from both sides: -5x - x + 1 = 3 → -6x + 1 = 3.

Subtract 1 from both sides: -6x = 2.

Divide both sides by -6: x = 2 / (-6) = -1/3.

So x = -1/3 is another potential solution. Let me check if this satisfies the original equation.

First, check if x ≥ -3. Since -1/3 is approximately -0.333, which is greater than -3, so that's okay.

Left side: |5*(-1/3) - 1| = |-5/3 - 1| = |-5/3 - 3/3| = |-8/3| = 8/3.

Right side: (-1/3) + 3 = (-1/3) + 9/3 = 8/3.

Yes, both sides are equal. So x = -1/3 is also a valid solution.

So the two solutions are x = 1 and x = -1/3. The question asks for the largest value of x that satisfies the equation. Comparing 1 and -1/3, clearly 1 is larger.

But wait, let me just make sure there are no other solutions or if I missed something.

The absolute value equation splits into two cases, and I solved both. Both solutions check out. Also, I considered the condition that x + 3 must be non-negative, which is satisfied by both solutions.

So, the largest value is 1.

But just to be thorough, let me think again. Sometimes when dealing with absolute values, there can be cases where the expressions inside the absolute value change sign, so maybe I should check the critical point where 5x - 1 = 0.

Solving 5x - 1 = 0 gives x = 1/5. So, the expression inside the absolute value, 5x - 1, is negative when x < 1/5 and positive when x > 1/5.

So, maybe I should consider splitting the problem into two cases based on the value of x relative to 1/5.

Case 1: x ≥ 1/5. In this case, |5x - 1| = 5x - 1. So the equation becomes 5x - 1 = x + 3. Which is the same as the first equation I solved earlier, leading to x = 1. Since 1 is greater than 1/5, this solution is valid.

Case 2: x < 1/5. In this case, |5x - 1| = -(5x - 1) = -5x + 1. So the equation becomes -5x + 1 = x + 3. Which is the same as the second equation I solved earlier, leading to x = -1/3. Since -1/3 is less than 1/5, this solution is valid.

Therefore, both solutions are valid, and the largest one is 1.

Alternatively, maybe I can graph both sides of the equation to visualize. The left side is an absolute value function, which V-shaped, and the right side is a straight line. The intersection points would be the solutions.

But since I already solved algebraically and checked, maybe that's redundant.

But just to confirm, let me think about possible mistakes. For example, when solving absolute value equations, sometimes people forget to check the solutions in the original equation. But I did check both solutions.

Another possible mistake is not considering the domain where the right-hand side is non-negative. However, I did consider that x + 3 ≥ 0, so x ≥ -3. Both solutions satisfy this.

So, I think my solutions are correct.

Therefore, the largest value of x is 1.

**Final Answer**
The largest value of $ x $ that satisfies the equation is \boxed{1}.

To solve the equation:

$$
|5x - 1| = x + 3
$$

we begin by recognizing that the **absolute value** of an expression is always **non-negative**, so the right-hand side of the equation must also be non-negative. That is:

$$
x + 3 \geq 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x \geq -3
$$

This gives us a **domain restriction** for any valid solution: $ x \geq -3 $.

---

### Step 1: Split the Absolute Value Equation

The equation $ |5x - 1| = x + 3 $ can be split into two cases based on the definition of absolute value:

1. $ 5x - 1 = x + 3 $
2. $ -(5x - 1) = x + 3 $

---

### Case 1: $ 5x - 1 = x + 3 $

Solve for $ x $:

$$
5x - 1 = x + 3 \\
5x - x = 3 + 1 \\
4x = 4 \\
x = 1
$$

Check if this satisfies the original equation:

- Left side: $ |5(1) - 1| = |4| = 4 $
- Right side: $ 1 + 3 = 4 $

✅ Valid solution.

---

### Case 2: $ -(5x - 1) = x + 3 $

Simplify the left side:

$$
-5x + 1 = x + 3 \\
-5x - x = 3 - 1 \\
-6x = 2 \\
x = -\frac{1}{3}
$$

Check if this satisfies the original equation:

- Left side: $ |5(-\frac{1}{3}) - 1| = |- \frac{5}{3} - 1| = |- \frac{8}{3}| = \frac{8}{3} $
- Right side: $ -\frac{1}{3} + 3 = \frac{8}{3} $

✅ Valid solution.

---

### Step 2: Consider the Domain

We already ensured that both solutions satisfy $ x \geq -3 $, so both are valid.

---

### Step 3: Determine the Largest Value

From the two solutions:

- $ x = 1 $
- $ x = -\frac{1}{3} $

The **largest** value is clearly:

$$
\boxed{1}
$$

---

### Final Answer

$$
\boxed{1}
$$

Subtract x from both sides: 5x - x - 1 = 3 → 4x - 1 = 3.

Divide both sides by 4: x = 1.

Okay, so x = 1 is a potential solution. Now let me check if this satisfies the original equation.

Left side: |5(1) - 1| = |5 - 1| = |4| = 4.

Right side: 1 + 3 = 4.

Yes, both sides are equal. So x = 1 is a valid solution.

Now moving on to the second equation: -(5x - 1) = x + 3.

Let me simplify the left side first. Distribute the negative sign: -5x + 1 = x + 3.

Now, let me solve for x. Subtract x from both sides: -5x - x + 1 = 3 → -6x + 1 = 3.

Subtract 1 from both sides: -6x = 2.

Divide both sides by -6: x = 2 / (-6) = -1/3.

So x = -1/3 is another potential solution. Let me check if this satisfies the original equation.

First, check if x ≥ -3. Since -1/3 is approximately -0.333, which is greater than -3, so that's okay.

Left side: |5*(-1/3) - 1| = |-5/3 - 1| = |-5/3 - 3/3| = |-8/3| = 8/3.

Right side: (-1/3) + 3 = (-1/3) + 9/3 = 8/3.

Yes, both sides are equal. So x = -1/3 is also a valid solution.

So the two solutions are x = 1 and x = -1/3. The question asks for the largest value of x that satisfies the equation. Comparing 1 and -1/3, clearly 1 is larger.

So, I think my solutions are correct.

Therefore, the largest value of x is 1.

**Final Answer**
The largest value of $ x $ that satisfies the equation is \boxed{1}.

To solve the equation:

$$
|5x - 1| = x + 3
$$

we begin by recognizing that the **absolute value** of an expression is always **non-negative**, so the right-hand side of the equation must also be non-negative. That is:

$$
x + 3 \geq 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x \geq -3
$$

This gives us a **domain restriction** for any valid solution: $ x \geq -3 $.

---

### Step 1: Split the Absolute Value Equation

The equation $ |5x - 1| = x + 3 $ can be split into two cases based on the definition of absolute value:

1. $ 5x - 1 = x + 3 $
2. $ -(5x - 1) = x + 3 $

---

### Case 1: $ 5x - 1 = x + 3 $

Solve for $ x $:

$$
5x - 1 = x + 3 \\
5x - x = 3 + 1 \\
4x = 4 \\
x = 1
$$

Check if this satisfies the original equation:

- Left side: $ |5(1) - 1| = |4| = 4 $
- Right side: $ 1 + 3 = 4 $

✅ Valid solution.

---

### Case 2: $ -(5x - 1) = x + 3 $

Simplify the left side:

$$
-5x + 1 = x + 3 \\
-5x - x = 3 - 1 \\
-6x = 2 \\
x = -\frac{1}{3}
$$

Check if this satisfies the original equation:

- Left side: $ |5(-\frac{1}{3}) - 1| = |- \frac{5}{3} - 1| = |- \frac{8}{3}| = \frac{8}{3} $
- Right side: $ -\frac{1}{3} + 3 = \frac{8}{3} $

✅ Valid solution.

---

### Step 2: Consider the Domain

We already ensured that both solutions satisfy $ x \geq -3 $, so both are valid.

---

### Step 3: Determine the Largest Value

From the two solutions:

- $ x = 1 $
- $ x = -\frac{1}{3} $

The **largest** value is clearly:

$$
\boxed{1}
$$

---

### Final Answer

$$
\boxed{1}
$$

Solution:
We can split the expression $|5x-1|=x+3$ into two separate cases. In the first case, \begin{align*} 5x-1&=x+3
\\\Rightarrow \qquad 4x&=4
\\\Rightarrow \qquad x&=1
\end{align*}If we plug this value of $x$ back into the original equation in order to check our answer, we see that $|5(1)-1|=1+3$ or $4=4$. Since this is true, we can accept $x=1$ as a valid solution.

In the second case, \begin{align*} 5x-1&=-(x+3)
\\ 5x-1&=-x-3
\\\Rightarrow \qquad 6x&=-2
\\\Rightarrow \qquad x&=-\frac13.
\end{align*}If we plug $-\frac13$ back into the initial equation, we get that $\left|5\left(-\frac13\right)-1\right|=-\frac13+3$, which simplifies to $\left|-\frac{8}{3}\right|=\frac{8}{3}$, or $\frac{8}{3}=\frac{8}{3}$. Since this is also a true statement, we can accept $x=-\frac13$ as a valid solution as well. Since both $x=1$ and $x=-\frac13$ are possible values of $x$, the final answer is the larger of the two: $x=\boxed{1}$.


Explanation:
Okay, so there's this figure skater who starts facing north, and she begins to spin to her right. She spins a total of 2250 degrees. The question is asking which direction she ends up facing after that spin. Alright, let me think through this step by step.

First, I know that when dealing with directions and rotations, it's helpful to remember that a full circle is 360 degrees. So, if someone spins around multiple times, we can figure out how many full rotations they've made and then determine the remaining degrees to find the final direction.

The skater is spinning to her right. Since she starts facing north, spinning to her right would mean she's rotating clockwise. Let me confirm that: if you're facing north and turn right, you're turning towards east, right? So clockwise direction. So, clockwise rotation.

Now, the total degrees she spins is 2250. Let me figure out how many full circles that is. To do that, I can divide 2250 by 360. Let me calculate that.

First, 360 times 6 is 2160. Then, 2250 minus 2160 is 90. So, 2250 degrees is equal to 6 full rotations (which is 6*360=2160 degrees) plus an additional 90 degrees. So, she spins around 6 times and then another 90 degrees.

But since each full rotation brings her back to the original direction, the 6 full rotations don't affect her final direction. So, we just need to figure out what direction she ends up facing after rotating 90 degrees clockwise from her starting position.

Starting direction is north. Rotating 90 degrees clockwise from north: let's visualize. North, then turning right (clockwise) 90 degrees would point her to east. Wait, is that right? Let me think again. If you face north and turn right (clockwise) 90 degrees, you end up facing east. Then another 90 degrees would be south, then another 90 degrees west, and another 90 degrees back to north. So yes, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east.

But wait, hold on. Let me make sure. If you start at north, 90 degrees clockwise is east. So, if she spins 90 degrees, she ends up facing east. But wait, the total spin was 2250 degrees, which we said is 6 full circles (which is 2160 degrees) plus 90 degrees. So, the 90 degrees is the remaining angle. Therefore, she ends up facing east?

But wait, let me check again. Maybe I made a mistake in calculating the remaining degrees. Let me verify the division again. 2250 divided by 360. Let me do this division properly.

360 times 6 is 2160. 2250 minus 2160 is 90. So yes, 2250 degrees is 6*360 + 90. So, 90 degrees remaining. So, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. Therefore, the answer is east?

Wait, but let me think again. Maybe I need to check if the direction is different. Let me think of the compass directions. Starting at north, clockwise rotation:

0 degrees: north

90 degrees: east

180 degrees: south

270 degrees: west

360 degrees: back to north.

So, yes, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. Therefore, if she spins 90 degrees, she ends up facing east. Therefore, after 2250 degrees, which is 6 full circles plus 90 degrees, she ends up facing east. Therefore, the answer is east?

Wait, but let me check again. Maybe I made a mistake in the calculation. Let me check 2250 divided by 360. Let me do the division step by step.

First, 360*6 = 2160. 2250 - 2160 = 90. So, 2250 degrees is 6 full rotations plus 90 degrees. So, yes, 90 degrees. So, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. Therefore, answer is east. But let me check again. Maybe I need to consider that spinning to the right is clockwise, but maybe the problem is in another way?

Alternatively, maybe I need to think in terms of modulo 360. So, 2250 degrees modulo 360. Let me compute that. 2250 divided by 360. Let me compute 360*6=2160, 2250-2160=90. So, 2250 mod 360 is 90. Therefore, the equivalent angle is 90 degrees. So, same result. So, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. Therefore, answer is east.

But wait, let me check again. Maybe I need to think about the direction. If she spins to her right, which is clockwise, starting at north. So, 90 degrees clockwise would be east. So, yes. So, answer is east. But wait, I have a doubt here. Let me think again. Maybe I need to check with another approach.

Alternatively, think of each 90 degrees as a quarter turn. So, starting at north:

First quarter turn (90 degrees clockwise): east.

Second quarter turn (another 90 degrees): south.

Third quarter turn: west.

Fourth quarter turn: back to north.

So, each 90 degrees is a quarter turn. So, if she spins 2250 degrees, how many quarter turns is that? 2250 divided by 90 is 25. So, 25 quarter turns. So, each quarter turn is 90 degrees. So, 25 quarter turns. Now, since each full circle is 4 quarter turns, so 25 divided by 4 is 6 with a remainder of 1. Because 4*6=24, so 25-24=1. Therefore, 25 quarter turns is 6 full circles plus 1 quarter turn. Therefore, the final direction is 1 quarter turn clockwise from north, which is east. Therefore, same result. So, answer is east.

But wait, the problem says she spins 2250 degrees. So, 2250 divided by 90 is 25. So, 25 quarter turns. So, 25 quarter turns. So, 25 mod 4 is 1. Therefore, 1 quarter turn. So, east. So, same answer. Therefore, seems like east is the answer.

But let me check again. Maybe I made a mistake in the direction. Let me think again. If you start facing north, and turn right (clockwise) 90 degrees, you face east. If you turn another 90 degrees, you face south. Another 90 degrees, west. Another 90 degrees, north. So, each 90 degrees is a quarter turn. So, if you have 25 quarter turns, that's 6 full circles (24 quarter turns) plus 1 quarter turn. So, ending up at east. So, yes. So, answer is east.

But wait, let me check with another method. Let me think of the total degrees as 2250. Let me subtract multiples of 360 until I get an angle between 0 and 360.

So, 2250 - 360*6 = 2250 - 2160 = 90. So, 90 degrees. So, same as before. So, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. Therefore, answer is east.

But wait, I'm confused because sometimes when people talk about spinning, they might consider different things. Wait, but the problem says she spins to her right. So, that's a clockwise rotation. So, starting at north, turning right (clockwise) 2250 degrees. So, yes, 90 degrees is east. So, answer is east. But let me check once more.

Alternatively, maybe I need to think about the direction as a number. Let me assign numbers to directions. Let me say:

North = 0 degrees

East = 90 degrees

South = 180 degrees

West = 270 degrees

And then 360 degrees is back to North.

So, if she starts at 0 degrees (north), and spins clockwise (which is the positive direction in standard position, but usually standard position is counterclockwise, but here we are dealing with clockwise). Wait, but in terms of angles, if we consider clockwise as positive, then adding degrees would be clockwise. So, starting at 0 degrees (north), adding 90 degrees would be east, adding 180 degrees south, etc.

So, if she spins 2250 degrees clockwise, then her final direction is (0 + 2250) degrees modulo 360. Which is 2250 mod 360. As before, 2250 divided by 360 is 6*360=2160, 2250-2160=90. So, 90 degrees. Which is east. Therefore, answer is east.

But wait, I just want to make sure that there isn't a trick here. For example, sometimes problems might consider that spinning to the right could be different, but no, if you're facing north, spinning to your right is definitely clockwise. So, that's standard.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is in radians? No, the problem says degrees. So, 2250 degrees. So, no, that's not the case.

Alternatively, maybe the question is about the number of rotations? But no, the question is about the direction. So, I think my reasoning is correct.

But let me check with another approach. Let me think of how many times she spins around. 2250 degrees. Each full rotation is 360 degrees. So, 2250 divided by 360 is 6.25. So, 6 full rotations and a quarter of a rotation. A quarter of a rotation is 90 degrees. So, again, same result. So, 6 full rotations bring her back to north, then a quarter rotation (90 degrees) clockwise brings her to east. Therefore, answer is east.

Therefore, I think the answer is east. But let me check once again with a different angle. Let me think of 2250 degrees. Let me subtract 360 degrees multiple times until I get an angle between 0 and 360.

First, 2250 - 360 = 2250 - 360 = 1890

1890 - 360 = 1530

1530 - 360 = 1170

1170 - 360 = 810

810 - 360 = 450

450 - 360 = 90

So, after subtracting 360 six times, we get 90 degrees. So, same result. Therefore, 90 degrees. So, direction is east.

Therefore, I think the answer is east. But wait, let me check once again. Maybe I have a mistake in the direction. Let me think of the compass. If you start at north, turn right (clockwise) 90 degrees, you face east. So, yes. So, answer is east.

But wait, I just thought of something. Maybe the problem is in the way the spin is counted. For example, if she spins 2250 degrees, does that mean she spins continuously, or does it mean she spins 2250 degrees in total? But the problem says she spins 2250 degrees. So, total rotation is 2250 degrees. So, that's what we have considered.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is in the fact that when you spin, sometimes people might consider the direction differently? For example, if you spin to the right, does that mean a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation? But no, if you're facing north and turn right, that's clockwise. If you turn left, that's counterclockwise. So, spinning to the right is clockwise. So, that's correct.

Therefore, I think my answer is correct. She ends up facing east. Therefore, the answer is east.

Wait, but let me check once again with another method. Let me think of the total degrees as 2250. Let me divide by 90 to see how many quarter turns. 2250 / 90 = 25. So, 25 quarter turns. Each quarter turn is 90 degrees. So, 25 quarter turns. Now, since each full circle is 4 quarter turns, 25 divided by 4 is 6 with a remainder of 1. So, 6 full circles and 1 quarter turn. So, 1 quarter turn clockwise from north is east. So, same answer. Therefore, east.

Therefore, I think I can be confident that the answer is east. So, the final direction is east.

**Final Answer**
\boxed{east}

To determine the final direction the figure skater is facing after spinning 2250 degrees to her right, we need to analyze the rotation in terms of full circles and the remaining degrees.

---

### Step 1: Understand the Direction of Rotation

The skater starts facing **north** and spins **to her right**, which means she is rotating **clockwise**. In a standard compass, clockwise rotation from north proceeds as follows:

- **0°** → North
- **90°** → East
- **180°** → South
- **270°** → West
- **360°** → Back to North (full circle)

---

### Step 2: Determine the Number of Full Rotations

A full rotation is **360 degrees**. To find how many full rotations are in 2250 degrees, we divide:

$$
2250 \div 360 = 6 \text{ full rotations with a remainder of } 90 \text{ degrees}
$$

This means the skater completes **6 full circles** (which bring her back to the original direction, **north**) and then spins an additional **90 degrees** clockwise.

---

### Step 3: Determine the Final Direction

From the starting direction of **north**, a **90-degree clockwise** rotation points the skater to **east**.

### Final Answer

\boxed{east}

Explanation:
Okay, so there's this figure skater who starts facing north, and she begins to spin to her right. She spins a total of 2250 degrees. The question is asking which direction she ends up facing after that spin. Alright, let me think through this step by step.

First, I know that when dealing with directions and rotations, it's helpful to remember that a full circle is 360 degrees. So, if someone spins around multiple times, we can figure out how many full rotations they've made and then determine the remaining degrees to find the final direction.

The skater is spinning to her right. Since she starts facing north, spinning to her right would mean she's rotating clockwise. Let me confirm that: if you're facing north and turn right, you're turning towards east, right? So clockwise direction. So, clockwise rotation.

Now, the total degrees she spins is 2250. Let me figure out how many full circles that is. To do that, I can divide 2250 by 360. Let me calculate that.

First, 360 times 6 is 2160. Then, 2250 minus 2160 is 90. So, 2250 degrees is equal to 6 full rotations (which is 6*360=2160 degrees) plus an additional 90 degrees. So, she spins around 6 times and then another 90 degrees.

But since each full rotation brings her back to the original direction, the 6 full rotations don't affect her final direction. So, we just need to figure out what direction she ends up facing after rotating 90 degrees clockwise from her starting position.

Starting direction is north. Rotating 90 degrees clockwise from north: let's visualize. North, then turning right (clockwise) 90 degrees would point her to east. Wait, is that right? Let me think again. If you face north and turn right (clockwise) 90 degrees, you end up facing east. Then another 90 degrees would be south, then another 90 degrees west, and another 90 degrees back to north. So yes, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east.

But wait, hold on. Let me make sure. If you start at north, 90 degrees clockwise is east. So, if she spins 90 degrees, she ends up facing east. But wait, the total spin was 2250 degrees, which we said is 6 full circles (which is 2160 degrees) plus 90 degrees. So, the 90 degrees is the remaining angle. Therefore, she ends up facing east?

But wait, let me check again. Maybe I made a mistake in calculating the remaining degrees. Let me verify the division again. 2250 divided by 360. Let me do this division properly.

360 times 6 is 2160. 2250 minus 2160 is 90. So yes, 2250 degrees is 6*360 + 90. So, 90 degrees remaining. So, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. Therefore, the answer is east?

Wait, but let me think again. Maybe I need to check if the direction is different. Let me think of the compass directions. Starting at north, clockwise rotation:

0 degrees: north

90 degrees: east

180 degrees: south

270 degrees: west

360 degrees: back to north.

So, yes, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. Therefore, if she spins 90 degrees, she ends up facing east. Therefore, after 2250 degrees, which is 6 full circles plus 90 degrees, she ends up facing east. Therefore, the answer is east?

Wait, but let me check again. Maybe I made a mistake in the calculation. Let me check 2250 divided by 360. Let me do the division step by step.

First, 360*6 = 2160. 2250 - 2160 = 90. So, 2250 degrees is 6 full rotations plus 90 degrees. So, yes, 90 degrees. So, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. Therefore, answer is east. But let me check again. Maybe I need to consider that spinning to the right is clockwise, but maybe the problem is in another way?

Alternatively, maybe I need to think in terms of modulo 360. So, 2250 degrees modulo 360. Let me compute that. 2250 divided by 360. Let me compute 360*6=2160, 2250-2160=90. So, 2250 mod 360 is 90. Therefore, the equivalent angle is 90 degrees. So, same result. So, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. Therefore, answer is east.

But wait, let me check again. Maybe I need to think about the direction. If she spins to her right, which is clockwise, starting at north. So, 90 degrees clockwise would be east. So, yes. So, answer is east. But wait, I have a doubt here. Let me think again. Maybe I need to check with another approach.

Alternatively, think of each 90 degrees as a quarter turn. So, starting at north:

First quarter turn (90 degrees clockwise): east.

Second quarter turn (another 90 degrees): south.

Third quarter turn: west.

Fourth quarter turn: back to north.

So, each 90 degrees is a quarter turn. So, if she spins 2250 degrees, how many quarter turns is that? 2250 divided by 90 is 25. So, 25 quarter turns. So, each quarter turn is 90 degrees. So, 25 quarter turns. Now, since each full circle is 4 quarter turns, so 25 divided by 4 is 6 with a remainder of 1. Because 4*6=24, so 25-24=1. Therefore, 25 quarter turns is 6 full circles plus 1 quarter turn. Therefore, the final direction is 1 quarter turn clockwise from north, which is east. Therefore, same result. So, answer is east.

But wait, the problem says she spins 2250 degrees. So, 2250 divided by 90 is 25. So, 25 quarter turns. So, 25 quarter turns. So, 25 mod 4 is 1. Therefore, 1 quarter turn. So, east. So, same answer. Therefore, seems like east is the answer.

But let me check again. Maybe I made a mistake in the direction. Let me think again. If you start facing north, and turn right (clockwise) 90 degrees, you face east. If you turn another 90 degrees, you face south. Another 90 degrees, west. Another 90 degrees, north. So, each 90 degrees is a quarter turn. So, if you have 25 quarter turns, that's 6 full circles (24 quarter turns) plus 1 quarter turn. So, ending up at east. So, yes. So, answer is east.

But wait, let me check with another method. Let me think of the total degrees as 2250. Let me subtract multiples of 360 until I get an angle between 0 and 360.

So, 2250 - 360*6 = 2250 - 2160 = 90. So, 90 degrees. So, same as before. So, 90 degrees clockwise from north is east. Therefore, answer is east.

But wait, I'm confused because sometimes when people talk about spinning, they might consider different things. Wait, but the problem says she spins to her right. So, that's a clockwise rotation. So, starting at north, turning right (clockwise) 2250 degrees. So, yes, 90 degrees is east. So, answer is east. But let me check once more.

Alternatively, maybe I need to think about the direction as a number. Let me assign numbers to directions. Let me say:

North = 0 degrees

East = 90 degrees

South = 180 degrees

West = 270 degrees

And then 360 degrees is back to North.

So, if she starts at 0 degrees (north), and spins clockwise (which is the positive direction in standard position, but usually standard position is counterclockwise, but here we are dealing with clockwise). Wait, but in terms of angles, if we consider clockwise as positive, then adding degrees would be clockwise. So, starting at 0 degrees (north), adding 90 degrees would be east, adding 180 degrees south, etc.

So, if she spins 2250 degrees clockwise, then her final direction is (0 + 2250) degrees modulo 360. Which is 2250 mod 360. As before, 2250 divided by 360 is 6*360=2160, 2250-2160=90. So, 90 degrees. Which is east. Therefore, answer is east.

But wait, I just want to make sure that there isn't a trick here. For example, sometimes problems might consider that spinning to the right could be different, but no, if you're facing north, spinning to your right is definitely clockwise. So, that's standard.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is in radians? No, the problem says degrees. So, 2250 degrees. So, no, that's not the case.

Alternatively, maybe the question is about the number of rotations? But no, the question is about the direction. So, I think my reasoning is correct.

But let me check with another approach. Let me think of how many times she spins around. 2250 degrees. Each full rotation is 360 degrees. So, 2250 divided by 360 is 6.25. So, 6 full rotations and a quarter of a rotation. A quarter of a rotation is 90 degrees. So, again, same result. So, 6 full rotations bring her back to north, then a quarter rotation (90 degrees) clockwise brings her to east. Therefore, answer is east.

Therefore, I think the answer is east. But let me check once again with a different angle. Let me think of 2250 degrees. Let me subtract 360 degrees multiple times until I get an angle between 0 and 360.

First, 2250 - 360 = 2250 - 360 = 1890

1890 - 360 = 1530

1530 - 360 = 1170

1170 - 360 = 810

810 - 360 = 450

450 - 360 = 90

So, after subtracting 360 six times, we get 90 degrees. So, same result. Therefore, 90 degrees. So, direction is east.

Therefore, I think the answer is east. But wait, let me check once again. Maybe I have a mistake in the direction. Let me think of the compass. If you start at north, turn right (clockwise) 90 degrees, you face east. So, yes. So, answer is east.

But wait, I just thought of something. Maybe the problem is in the way the spin is counted. For example, if she spins 2250 degrees, does that mean she spins continuously, or does it mean she spins 2250 degrees in total? But the problem says she spins 2250 degrees. So, total rotation is 2250 degrees. So, that's what we have considered.

Alternatively, maybe the problem is in the fact that when you spin, sometimes people might consider the direction differently? For example, if you spin to the right, does that mean a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation? But no, if you're facing north and turn right, that's clockwise. If you turn left, that's counterclockwise. So, spinning to the right is clockwise. So, that's correct.

Therefore, I think my answer is correct. She ends up facing east. Therefore, the answer is east.

Wait, but let me check once again with another method. Let me think of the total degrees as 2250. Let me divide by 90 to see how many quarter turns. 2250 / 90 = 25. So, 25 quarter turns. Each quarter turn is 90 degrees. So, 25 quarter turns. Now, since each full circle is 4 quarter turns, 25 divided by 4 is 6 with a remainder of 1. So, 6 full circles and 1 quarter turn. So, 1 quarter turn clockwise from north is east. So, same answer. Therefore, east.

Therefore, I think I can be confident that the answer is east. So, the final direction is east.

**Final Answer**
\boxed{east}

To determine the final direction the figure skater is facing after spinning 2250 degrees to her right, we need to analyze the rotation in terms of full circles and the remaining degrees.

---

### Step 1: Understand the Direction of Rotation

The skater starts facing **north** and spins **to her right**, which means she is rotating **clockwise**. In a standard compass, clockwise rotation from north proceeds as follows:

- **0°** → North
- **90°** → East
- **180°** → South
- **270°** → West
- **360°** → Back to North (full circle)

---

### Step 2: Determine the Number of Full Rotations

A full rotation is **360 degrees**. To find how many full rotations are in 2250 degrees, we divide:

$$
2250 \div 360 = 6 \text{ full rotations with a remainder of } 90 \text{ degrees}
$$

This means the skater completes **6 full circles** (which bring her back to the original direction, **north**) and then spins an additional **90 degrees** clockwise.

---

### Step 3: Determine the Final Direction

From the starting direction of **north**, a **90-degree clockwise** rotation points the skater to **east**.

---

### Final Answer

$$
\boxed{east}
$$

Solution: Each full circle is 360 degrees.  Dividing 360 into 2250 gives a quotient of 6 with a remainder of 90.  So, she spins 90 degrees to her right past north, which leaves her facing $\boxed{\text{east}}$.
