Hello, how can I do this equation?

1 answer:

4 0

(9^x) - 3 = 2*3^x
(9^x) - 3 - (2*3^x) = (2*3^x) - (2*3^x)
(9^x) - (2*3^x) - 3 = 0
(3^2)^x - 2*(3^x) - 3 = 0
3^(2x) - 2*(3^x) - 3 = 0
3^(x*2) - 2*(3^x) - 3 = 0
(3^x)^2 - 2*(3^x) - 3 = 0
z^2 - 2*z - 3 = 0 ............ let z = 3^x
(z - 3)(z + 1) = 0

If z-3 = 0, then z = 3 when we isolate z
If z = 3, and z = 3^x, then
z = 3
3^x = 3
3^x = 3^1
x = 1
which is a solutin in terms of x

If z+1 = 0 then z = -1
If z = -1 and z = 3^x, then there are NO solutions for this part of the equation
The quantity 3^x is never negative no matter what the x value is

Answer:

The greatest common factor is the biggest factor that divides two different numbers. For example, the greatest common factor of 6 and 8 is 2. The least common multiple is the smallest number that two numbers share as a multiple. For example, 12 is a the lowest common multiple of 3 and 4.
