\[\huge 2^{2x ^{2}}+2^{x ^{2}+2x+2}=2^{5+4x}\]
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 ?:)

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 = ?

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

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

[-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

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
