How to solve an expression with variables in the exponents?

Mathematics
1 answer:
gtnhenbr [62]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  use logarithms

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the logarithm of an expression with a variable in the exponent makes the exponent become a coefficient of the logarithm of the base.

__

You will note that this approach works well enough for ...

  a^(x+3) = b^(x-6) . . . . . . . . . . . variables in the exponents

  (x+3)log(a) = (x-6)log(b) . . . . . a linear equation after taking logs

but doesn't do anything to help you solve ...

  x +3 = b^(x -6)

There is no algebraic way to solve equations that are a mix of polynomial and exponential functions.

__

Some functions have been defined to help in certain situations. For example, the "product log" function (or its inverse) can be used to solve a certain class of equations with variables in the exponent. However, these functions and their use are not normally studied in algebra courses.

In any event, I find a graphing calculator to be an extremely useful tool for solving exponential equations.

Maria needs 3 1/3 yards of fabric to make a baby quilt, how many yards of fabric will she need to make 8 quilts
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

26 2/3 yards,

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert 3 1/3 to an improper fraction:

3 1/3 = (3*3 + 1) / 3 = 10 /3.

So for 8 quilts we need (10/3) * 8

= 80/3

= 26 2/3 yards,

Answer: 63/2π

Step-by-step explanation: C=πd  

                                             63=πd

                                             D=63/π

r=1/2d

1/2×63/π=<u>63/2π</u>
