Interesting question , still thinking

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge 2^{2x ^{2}}+2^{x ^{2}+2x+2}=2^{5+4x}\] Find x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve for x , I mean

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large 2^{2x^2-4x-5} + 2^{x^2-2x-3} -1 = 0\] \[\large 2^{2(x^2-2x-2)-1} + 2^{x^2-2x-2-1} -1 = 0\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large 2^{2(x^2-2x-2)} + 2^{x^2-2x-2} -2 = 0\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you knw what to do next ?:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait wait reading your reply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did u do , did u transfer the R.h.s power to L.hS

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

divide both sides by the RHS term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be -2 or 0 ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

those solutions are for what ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no no no , the constant term in the expression above i am asking about

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the quadratic would be \[\large u^2 + u-2 = 0\] right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large 2^{2(x^2-2x-2)} + 2^{x^2-2x-2} -2 = 0\] or \[\large 2^{2(x^2-2x-2)} + 2^{x^2-2x-2} = 0\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

whats a/a = ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

1 or 0 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

then ? the RHS will be 1 after dividing it by itself, eh ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no no taht

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large 2^{2(x^2-2x-2)-1} + 2^{x^2-2x-2-1} -1 = 0\] After this what u did

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

multiply throught the equation by "2^1"

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \color{red}{2^1}2^{2(x^2-2x-2)-1} + \color{red}{2^1}2^{x^2-2x-2-1} -\color{red}{2^1}1 = \color{red}{2^1}0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fine , then quadratic u^2+u-2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

u^2+u-2 = 0 solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes waigt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

[-1+/- 3 ]/2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

is that u or x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that quadratic is factorable

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

u^2+u-2 = 0 (u+2)(u-1) = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my bad , yes sry

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

one of the values of u makes no sense, which one is it ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

can \(\large 2^{something ~real}\) can ever be negative ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that leaves you with u = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2 not accepted

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, when does an exponential become 1 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a^0

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

|dw:1410706775146:dw|
