Question:
Solve for "x" in the given equation;
3^(2x+1) + 3^2 = 3^(x+3) + 3^x
Answer:
x = 2,-1
Note:
• (a^x)•(a^y) = a^(x+y)
• (a^x)/(a^y) = a^(x-y)
• (a^x)^y = a^(x•y)
Solution:
We have;
=> 3^(2x+1) + 3^2 = 3^(x+3) + 3^x
=> (3^2x)•(3^1) + 3^2 = (3^x)•(3^3) + 3^x
=> (3^2x)•3 + 9 = (3^x)•27 + 3^x
=> 3•(3^x)^2 + 9 = (3^x)•(27+1)
=> 3•(3^x)^2 + 9 = 28•(3^x)
Let , 3^x = y
Now, putting y = 3^x in the above equation, we have;
=> 3y^2 + 9 = 28y
=> 3y^2 - 28y + 9 = 0
=> 3y^2 - 27y - y + 9 = 0
=> 3y(y - 9) - (y - 9) = 0
=> (y - 9)(3y - 1) = 0
either (y - 9) = 0 OR (3y - 1) = 0
Case(1), when (y-9) = 0
=> y - 9 = 0
=> y = 9
=> 3^x = 9
=> 3^x = 3^2
=> x = 2
Case(2), when (3y-1) = 0
=> 3y - 1 = 0
=> 3y = 1
=> y = 1/3
=> 3^x = 1/3
=> 3^x = 3^(-1)
=> x = -1
Hence,
The solutions of the given equation are
x = 2 , -1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
It us being Given that,
But we know that,
Therefore,
Further simplifying,
we get,
Further,
Let us consider,
Therefore,
we get,
Now,
Apply Middle term splitting form,
we get,
Taking common terms,
we get,
Therefore,
we get,
Hence,
x = 2 and x = -1
