Question

If 4^2x+1 = 4, then =

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. what is the question? probably solve for x. okay.

step 2. 4^(2x) + 1 = 4

step 3. 4^(2x) = 3 subtract 1 from each side

step 4. ln4^(2x) = ln3 take on of each side

step 5. 2xln4 = ln3 definition of logs

step 6. 2x = ln3/ln4 divide both sides by ln4

step 7. x = ln3/2ln2^2 divide both side by 2 and replace 4 with 2^2

step 8. x = ln3/4ln2.
