9^(x+1)=27, can someone assist me with this i forgot how to do it cause i moved from the section.
ugh .. i wish i can help you on this but i forgot how too ....-.
Its fine
its -3/4

what im trying to do is solve for x, which is 1/2. i wanna know how i can get that number
there is a rule in mathematics that states if you can create the same base, you can solve for x using the powers only
9 and 27 can be rewritten using the same base, do you know which base I am referring to?
logarithm?
i wanna know how i can get to x+1=3/2
yes you can log both sides but it is easier to set it to the same base
logs are another approach
so how do i solve this?
well can you answer my question? can 9 and 27 have the same base? if so, what is it? example 2 and 8 have the same base because 2^3 is also 8
i dont think they can although 9*3 is 27
how about 3? can you rewrite those numbers in exponential form using base 3?
no?
3^2 is 3^3 is
9 and 27 oh.. wow
