Question

Solve the following equations. √3 ⋅ 3^3x = 9

Answer 1

Answer:

The solution is $x = 0.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write everything as a power of 3.

We know that:

$\sqrt{a} = a^{0.5}$

So

$\sqrt{3} = 3^{0.5}$

And

$9 = 3^{2}$

This following property is also important:

$\frac{a^{b}}{a^{c}} = a^{b-c}$

To solve, the first step is putting everything with the variable x on one side and everything without the variable x on the other side

$\sqrt{3}.3^{3x} = 9$

$3^{0.5}.3^{3x} = 3^{2}$

$3^{3x} = \frac{3^{2}}{3^{0.5}}$

$3^{3x} = 3^{2-0.5}$

$3^{3x} = 3^{1.5}$

This means that:

$3x = 1.5$

$x = \frac{1.5}{3}$

$x = 0.5$
