9^x=1/3 How much is x?

Mathematics

kumpel [21]3 years ago

Answer:

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by applying the laws of indices

In a^n, a - base

n - index

Given

9^x = 1/3

According to the laws of indices, a/b = b^(-a)

Hence we can write, 1/3 = 3^(-1)

9^x = 3^(2x)

Again according to the laws of indices,

a^b = a^n can be written as;

b = n

That is, if in an equation the bases are the same, the indices are also equal.

So we can write,

3^(2x) = 3^(-1)

2x = -1

Divide both sides of the equation by 2, the coefficient of x

2x/2 = -1/2

x = -1/2

One and one tenth decimal number
Elden [556K]
Hi there!

One and one tenth looks hard but that would be because it's in word form.
In standard, or decimal form, this would be 1.1.
The first 1 represents the whole number and the second 1 represents the tenths.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need anymore help! :)
