Alright I'm confused. Use 1-1 property of the exponential function to solve the given equation. 3^x+2=729/3^x I'm clueless
To me, time both sides by 3^x to get \(3^x(3^x+2)=729\) then plus 1 both sides to get \((3x +1)^2=730\)
sorry, \((3^x+1)^2=730\)
square root both sides to get \(3^x +1 = \sqrt{730}\) you can step up from this, right?
Yeah I see what you're saying
We have to solve it using log( )though
I have no idea.. mlp!
oh hey lol
So I got to log3(3^x-2)=log3(729\3x) But I seem to be lost past that
It seems you need some more steps. -2 both sides, \(3^x= \sqrt{730}-2\) therefore \(\large log_3({\sqrt{730}-2})=x\)
@jdoe0001
help me, friend.
let me retype this in an easier way to understand lol I just learned the power alt keys and what not
3ⁿ+²=729/3ⁿ
oh, different problem.
That plus is part of the power, I just couldn't make it look like it lol
\(\large 3^{n+2}= \dfrac{729}{3^n}\) right?
\(3^{n+2}= 3^n*3^2=3^n *9\) got me?
There you go!
I am waiting for your reply
yeah I got it so far
divided both sides by 9 what do you have?
3^x=81?
