We can rewrite the given formula as, p^t = (w^t * v)
w = 2 when v = 1 --> p^t = (2^t * 1) ----- (1)
w = 1/2 when v = 64 --> p^t = (1/2)^t * 64 --> (2^-t * 2^6) ---- (2)
Equating (1) and (2),
(2^t) = (2^-t * 2^6)
(2^2t) = 2^6
2t = 6 --> t = 3

Answer: C

In the formula \(w = \frac{p}{\sqrt[t]{v}}\), integers p and t are positive constants. If w = 2 when v = 1 and if w = 1/2 when v = 64, then t =

(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 3
(D) 4
(E) 16

lets see the equation first..

\(w = \frac{p}{\sqrt[t]{v}}\)....
1)w = 2 when v = 1 ..
substitute in the equation , we get p=2 irrespective of the value of 't' as the root is of 1..

2) substitue the value of p=2, since p is constant; w=1/2 and v=64...

we get t=3..
