4^x+1 - 9(2^x) = -2. Interprete: 4, 9(2) and -2 are the base while x+1 and x are the powers. |

Princenovo:Is this the question? 4x+1 - 9(2x) = - 2 If so the answers are: x= -2; x=1. Solution: 4x+1 - 9(2x = -2 The number 4 can be written as 22 (22)x+1 -9(2x) = -2 From the laws of logarithm: (ab)m = abm So we have: 22×+2 -9(2×) = -2 From the laws of logarithm am+n = am * an So we have: 22x * 22 - 9(2×/) =-2 (2x)2 * 4 -9(2×/sup]) = -2 Since 2[sup]x is common, to simplify we replace it by a variable, let's say y. 2x = y We substitute y for 2x Then we have: (y)2 *4 -9(y) = -2 4y2 - 9y = -2. Solve the quadratic equation you get: y = 2, y=1/4 Substituting back Since y = 2x When y = 2 2=2x 21 = 2× x = 1. When y = 1/4 2x = 1/4 2x =4-1 2× = 2-2 x = -2. Therefore, x = 1, x = -2. Any questions? Next time pay attention in class. 1 Like |
