1296^2n=216^n+10
can someone please help me!
solve for n given 1296^2n=216^n+10
hello SOS means someone help me i need help someone please
well is the question \[1296^{2n} = 216^{n + 10}\]
yes
First notice that 1296 and 216 are both powers of 6: \[\Large 6^4 = 1296\] \[\Large 6^3 = 216\]
ok... write your questions with the sme base 1296 = 6^4 and 216 = 6^3 so you are now solving \[(6^4)^{2n} = (6^3)^{n + 10}\] use the power of a power law \[(x ^a)^b = x^{a \times b}\] you have \[6^{8n} = 6^{3n + 30}\] same base just equate the powers and solve for n 8n = 3n + 30 hope this helps
yes so what do i do first
do i move 3n over
subtract 3n from both sides as the 1st step
Do you understand how to get it to 8n = 3n + 30 ?
ie the steps campbell_st took to get it to that point.
ok i see so it would be 5n=30 right and divide by 5?
is the answer 6? thanks
yes thats the answer.
thank you can you help me on solving this 24012n=343^n+2
i mean help on 2401^2n=343^n+2
\[\Large 2401^{2n}=343^{n+2}\] \[\Large 7^4 = 2401\] \[\Large 7^3 = 343\] So you have \[\LARGE (7^4)^{2n}=(7^3)^{n+2}\] Now use the same rule as above \[\Large (x ^a)^b = x^{a \times b}\]
so would it be 7^8n=7^3n+2?
help
Almost.. but you forgot to distribute the 3. \[\LARGE 7^{4 \times 2n}=7^{3\times (n+2)}\]
so it would be 7^8n=7^3n+6?
still there?
what do i do next?
:( help......PLEASE
HELP Iam stilll HERE
anyone HELP
Gosh at least can i get the answer if U dont want to explain
fine
agentOsmith thank you and can u finish what u started
campbell_st can you help me
what is 6.5% growth in decimal
Slow down, i'm helping you figure out the answer. so it would be 7^8n=7^3n+6? is correct. \[\Large 7^{8n}=7^{3n+6}\] Now since the bases are the same (the base is the 7), you can equate the exponents (the powers on the 7) and solve for n.
so 7^5n=7^6
Well you just want to equate the exponents, you want to drop the 7's entirely.
so 7^6=11n?
If \[\Large x^a = x^b\] then \[\Large a = b\] \[\Large 7^{8n}=7^{3n+6}\] so...
7=11n+6
\[\Large 7^{(8n)}=7^{(3n+6)} \] the stuff in the brackets on the left, must be equal to the stuff in the brackets on the right.
so is it 8n=3n+6
so is it 6/5
what about 2^x+4 =2^2x+5
6/5 is right. \[\Large 2^{(x+4)} =2^{(2x+5)}\] Again, the stuff in the brackets must be equal, since the bases (the 2) are the same.
so x+4=2x+5 therefor the answer is -1
Correct.
thank you for your help and for being patient
i love this website
No prob, but a medal would be nice :P
