If x is an integer greater than 1, is x equal to the 12th power of an integer ? (1) x is equal to the 3rd power of an integer(2) x is equal to the 4th power of an integer.

The statement is true only when both (1) and (2) are valid. If only one of (1) and (2) is valid, them the statement is not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) alone is not sufficient, 27 is 3³ but is not a 12th power

(2) alone is not sufficient either, 81 is 3³ but it is not a 12th power

If both (1) and (2) are valid, then for each prime p that divides x, p should divide y and z, with y³ = x and z⁴=x.

Lets suppose that k is the highest power of p that divides y and m is the highest power that divides z, then (p^k)³ = (p^m)⁴. Therefore

p^3k = p^4m

This means that the power of p that appears on x is a multiple of both 3 and 4. Since those numbers are coprime, then that power is a multiple of 12.

This ensures that every prime dividing x has at least a power of 12 in the prime factirization, hence x is a 12th power.
