i dont get it :(
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what else is next?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
theres more examples like this :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh wait i have some notes on an example like this one. you really helped by finding the quare root of theose numbers. i couldnt find the aquare root of 2401 and 343 so thanks

2401=7^4
343=7^3
so 2401^2n=(7^4)^2n=7^8n
and 343^(n+2)=(7^3)^(n+2)=7^(3n+6)
we get the equation:
7^8n=7^(3n+6)
because of injectivity of the exponential function
8n=3n+6
you solve this linear equation and youll get the solution of exponential equation...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ooh okay i get it now i think. what do i do with 8n=3n+6? sorry i forgot.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
8n=3n+6
5n=6
n=6/5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohhh okay you got 5 by subtracting 3 on 8n=3n side right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks i get it now :)
