\[2^x+\frac{2^4}{2^x}=17\] then multiply by \[2^x\] and get a quadratic equation i think
I am getting x=0,4
Go on then...
I know u can "see2 it's 0 and 4, what are the steps...
\[2^x = a\]

and Now try solving quadratic way
I eventually hit on2^x + 2^(x-4) = 2^4 + 2^0 but I'm not convinced...
\[a^2 - 17a +16=0\]
get \[2^{2x}+16=17\times 2^x\] or \[2^{2x}-17\times 2^x+16=0\] a quadratic in \[2^x\] solve \[z^2-17z+16=0\] get \[z=1, z = 16\] so \[2^x=1\iff x=0\] or \[2^x=16\iff x=4\]
TV time, just thought it was amusing and no-one was answering it....
