Step-by-step explanation:
Given:-
4^x + 6^x = 9^x
To find :-
Find the value of x ?
Solution:-
Given equation is 4^x + 6^x = 9^x
On dividing by 9^x both sides then
=>(4^x / 9^x )+ (6^x /9^x) = 9^x /9^x
=>(4^x / 9^x )+ (6^x /9^x) = 1
We know that a^m/b^m = (a/b)^m
=>(4/9)^x +(6/9)^x = 1
=>(4/9)^x + (2/3)^x = 1
=>[(2/3)^2]^x +(2/3)^x = 1
We know that (a^m)^n = a^mn
=>(2/3)^2x +(2/3)^x = 1
Put (2/3)^x = a then
=>a^2 + a = 1
=>a^2 +2(a)(1/2) = 1
On adding (1/2)^2 both sides
=>a^2+2(a)(1/2)+(1/2)^2 = 1+(1/2)^2
=>[a+(1/2)]^2 = 1+(1/4)
=>[a+(1/2)]^2 = (4+1)/4
=>[a+(1/2)]^2 = 5/4
=>a +(1/2) = ±√(5/4)
=>a +(1/2) = ±√5/2
=>a = ±√5/2 -(1/2)
=>a = ±(√5-1)/2
Since x is a positive then the square of a positive number is always a positive number
=>a = (√5-1)/2
now ,
(2/3)^x = (√5-1)/2
On applying logarithmic form
We know that a^x = N => log N (a) = x
Wher (a) is base a
=>x = log (√5-1)/2 (2/3)
Here base 2/3)
And it also can be written as
=>x = log (√5-1)-log2 (2/3)
(log (√5-1)-log 2 to the base 2/3)
Answer:-
answer for the given problem is
x = log (√5-1)/2 (2/3)
where 2/3 is a base
Used formulae:-
- a^m/b^m = (a/b)^m
- (a^m)^n = a^mn
- a^x = N => log N (a) = x
- Where a is a base
