Question

Solve 729 s-⁵ = 3² (1-s) for S.​

Answer 1

Answer:

No real solutions.

Step-by-step explanation:

729s^-5 = 729/s^5

729/s^5 = 3^2(1-s) = 9(1-s)

729=9(1-s)(s^5)

(1-s)(s^5)=81

s^5-s^6=81

Because 81 > 0 this means s^6 must be less than s^5. This is never possible as 6 is even so is always positive and is always greater in magnitude than s^5. The only time this isnt the case is when s is a decimal less than 1, but then the difference would be also less than 1 and not 81.
