\[\huge \bf 2^{x-2} \times 3^x=4^x \times 9^{x+1}\] Find the value of x
\[2^{x - 2}(3^x) = 4^x(9^{x + 1})\] Expand using the rule \(a^{b + c} = a^ba^c\) \[2^x2^{-2}3^x = 4^x9^x9^{1}\] Re-write as \[\frac{2^x3^x}{2^2} = 4^x9^x \times 9\] Place like terms on the same side: \[\frac{2^x3^x}{4^x9^x} = 2^2 \times 9\]
Utilize another rule: \(a^cb^c = (ab)^c\) to re-write the left hand side as: \(\dfrac{(2 \dot\ 3)^x}{(4 \dot\ 9)^x} = 4 \times 9\)
Furthermore utilize the rule \(\frac{a^x}{b^x} = \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^x\)
\(\left(\dfrac{6}{36}\right)^x = 36\)
Simplify the fraction then take logs of both sides.
then, \[\huge \bf \frac{6^x}{36^x}=(\frac{6}{36})^x=36\] \[\huge \bf 6^{-x}=6^2\] so x=-2
correct/... @Hero
I wouldn't write it in that form.
The correct thing to do is isolate x properly
@Hero what is the meaning of this :- \[\huge \bf n \in I^+\]
\[\left(\frac{1}{6}\right)^x = 36\] \[x \log(1/6) = \log(6^2)\] \[x = \frac{2 \log(6)}{\log(1/6)}\] \[x = \frac{2 \log(6)}{\log(1) - \log(6)}\] \[x = -\frac{2 \log(6)}{\log(6)}\]
Means n is an element of positive integers
