Answer 1

sorry is your question \(2^x=16\)?

Answer 2

or is it really \(2^x=16x\)?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

which one? first expression or second expression that I typed?

Answer 5

or is it: \(2^x=16^x\)?

the second one

Answer 7

and which method(s) have you been asked to use to solve this?

Answer 8

in used log but i couldnt.a friend of mine used titeration

Answer 9

have you used the Newton-Raphson method of iteration?

Answer 10

if not, I would urge you to double check your question as (if you should be using logs), I believe it is probably more like:\[2^x=16^x\]

Answer 11

try converting 16 into a power of 2

Answer 12

then apply the exponent rule\[\large(x^a)^b=x^{ab}\]after which you will have a common base, and so can take a logarithm

Answer 13

..if asnaseer is right, but that seems trivial

Answer 14

2^x=16x\[\implies \color{red}{2^x=16x.}\]

Answer 15

It should be like this
\[2^x=16^x\]
