1/8=4^8x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just want to make sure this is the equation you want to solve: \(\large \dfrac{1}{8} = 4^{8x+2}\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You will do this one just like the last one. Think of 1/8 as \[2^{-3}\] and 4 as \[2^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah that's the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be -3=2(8x+2) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that would be correct. So what do you get when you solve for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

[\frac{ -7 }{ 16 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-7/16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, that's correct. Does this process make more sense now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it does. thanks
