How would i find this answer, 8= √2^(4x+8)?
convert 8=2^3 and √(2^(4x+8)) = 2^((4x+8)/2) = 2^(2x+4)
just take the power of both, then solve for x
i have no idea what you just did
well, look this 8= √(2^(4x+8)) 2^3 = 2^((4x+8)/2) 2^3 = 2^(2x+4) 3 = 2x+4 solve for x from here
i got -2 but it equals zero
still incorrect
3 = 2x+4 or 2x+4 = 3 susbtracted by 4 to both sides, what u get
i get -1=2x
nice... then divided by 2 to both sides, what u get
i divided 2 by -1 and got -2
nopes... -1 = 2x or 2x = -1 divided by 2, both sides it means 2x/2 = -1/2 x = - 1/2
so, the answer is x=-1/2
oh, can you explain the first process above in words?
which parts ?
8= √(2^(4x+8)) 2^3 = 2^((4x+8)/2) 2^3 = 2^(2x+4) 3 = 2x+4 this part
ok.. first 8 = 2^3, because 2^3 = 2*2*2 = 8 right ?
hello ?
yes
ok, next... for √(2^(4x+8)), u have to go out from squareroot, use the property : |dw:1354842587777:dw|
