Answer:
0, for q ≠ 0 and q ≠ 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming q ≠ 0, you want to find the value of x such that ...
q^x = 1
This is solved using logarithms.
__
x·log(q) = log(1) = 0
The zero product rule tells us this will have two solutions:
x = 0
log(q) = 0 ⇒ q = 1
If q is not 0 or 1, then its value is 1 when raised to the 0 power. If q is 1, then its value will be 1 when raised to <em>any</em> power.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The applicable rule of logarithms is ...
log(a^b) = b·log(a)
1. Remove parentheses
-3x^2 + x^4 + x + 2x^4 - 7 + 4x
2. Collect like terms
-3x^2 + (x^4 + 2x^4) + (x + 4x) - 7
3. Simplify
-3x^2 + 3x^4 + 5x - 7
