Question

Solve (1/81)^x*1/243=(1/9)^−3−1 by rewriting each side with a common base.

Answer 1

Answer:

$x=(243)log_{\frac{1}{81}}[(\frac{1}{81})-1]$

Step-by-step explanation:

you have the following formula:

$(\frac{1}{81})^{\frac{x}{243}}=(\frac{1}{9})^{-3}-1$

To solve this equation you use the following properties:

$log_aa^x=x$

Thne, by using this propwerty in the equation (1) you obtain for x

$log_{(\frac{1}{81})}(\frac{1}{81})^{\frac{x}{243}}=log_{\frac{1}{81}}[(\frac{1}{81})-1]\\\\\frac{x}{243}=log_{\frac{1}{81}}[(\frac{1}{81})-1]\\\\x=(243)log_{\frac{1}{81}}[(\frac{1}{81})-1]$
