9 to the power 18 = 27 to the power x work out the value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Strike441 [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

27^x = 9÷(3^x)

So (3^3)^x = (3^2)÷(3^x)

So 3^3x = 3^(2-x)

Comparing powers on both sides,

3x = 2 - x

So, 4x = 2

So, x = 1/2

Given ( 27 ) ^ x = 9 / 3 ^x

⇒ ( 3 × 3 × 3 )^x = ( 3 × 3 ) / 3^x

⇒ ( 3 ³ )^x = 3² / 3^x

⇒  3 ^ 3x × 3^x = 3²            [ since  ( a ^m)^n = a ^mn ]

⇒ 3^ (3x +x) = 3²                [ since a^m × a^n = a ^m+n ]

⇒ 3^4x = 3²

⇒4x = 2                      [ since  If a ^m = a ^n then m = n ]

⇒ x = 2 / 4

 ∴ x = 1 / 2

I hope this helps you.

A firefighter is standing on the middlemost rung of a ladder, extinguishing a fire. In order to get a better position, the firef
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

29 rungs

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are to use the climbing statistics of a firefighter to determine the number of rungs a ladder have.

Firstly, since we do not know the number of rungs but we know we are starting from the middle rung, let the middle rung be r.

From the middle rung, he climbed 6 rungs, meaning he would be on rung x + 6 ! From here he came down ten rungs, meaning he would be on rung x + 6 - 10 = x -4

Now, he climbed 18 rungs again, making x -4+18 = x + 14

This is equal to the topmost rung i.e the topmost rung is at a position x + 14

This means that the ladder must have 14 rungs above the middle , 14 below it and the middle itself

14+ 14 + 1 = 29 rungs

Find the value of the following expression
Misha Larkins [42]

Looks like the expression is

(2⁸ • 5⁻⁵ • 19⁰) • (5⁻² / 2³)⁴ • 2²⁸

First, any positive number raised to 0 is 1:

(2⁸ • 5⁻⁵ • 1) • (5⁻² / 2³)⁴ • 2²⁸

(2⁸ • 5⁻⁵) • (5⁻² / 2³)⁴ • 2²⁸

Exponents in a denominator can be rewritten as negative exponents in the numerator:

(2⁸ • 5⁻⁵) • (5⁻² • 2⁻³)⁴ • 2²⁸

Distribute the 4th power across the product 5⁻² • 2⁻³ :

(5⁻² • 2⁻³)⁴ = 5⁻⁸ • 2⁻¹²

so we have

(2⁸ • 5⁻⁵) • (5⁻⁸ • 2⁻¹²) • 2²⁸

Multiplication is associative, so we can ignore the parentheses. Combine factors with equal bases and simplify the exponents:

2⁸ • 5⁻⁵ • 5⁻⁸ • 2⁻¹² • 2²⁸

2⁸⁻¹²⁺²⁸ • 5⁻⁵⁻⁸

2²⁴ • 5⁻¹³

Rewrite the negative exponent as a positive one:

2²⁴ / 5¹³
