Binomial theorem:

The term with 

 corresponds to 

 and 

 (or 

, since 

).
So, the coefficient of this term is
 
 
        
        
        
2^2x=5^x−1
Take the log pf both sides:
ln(2^2x) = ln(5^x-1)
Expand the logs by pulling the exponents out:
2xln(2) = (x-1)ln(5)
Simpligy the right side:
2xln(2) = ln(5)x - ln(5)
Now solve for x:
Subtract ln(5)x from both sides:
2xln(2) - ln(5)x = -ln(5)
Factor x out of 2xln(2)-ln(5)x
x(2ln(2) - ln(5)) = -ln(5)
Divide both sides by (2ln(2) - ln(5))
X = - ln(5) / (2ln(2) - ln(5))

In intercept form, the plane that has these intercepts is ...
... x/(x-intercept) + y/(y-intercept) + z/(z-intercept) = 1
... x/1 + y/(-1) + z/2 = 1
... 2x -2y +z = 2 . . . . . in standard form
 
        
             
        
        
        
The answer is (2,1). 2*2=4 and 9*1=9. 9+4=13
