Question

Just need the answer for a and b

Answer 1

Answer:

2⁵× 2ˣ = 256

x= 3

(1/3)² (1/3)ˣ = 1/729

x= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2⁵× 2ˣ = 256

x= 3

use Product Rule: xᵃxᵇ=xᵃ⁺ᵇ

convert both sides to the same base.

2⁵⁺ˣ = 2⁸

cancel the base of 2 on both sides.

5+x=8

subtract 5 from both sides.

x=8-5

simplify  8-5 3.

x=3

(1/2)² (1/3)ˣ = 1/729

x = 4

use division distributive property: (x/y)ᵃ=xᵃ/yᵃ

i hope this helped i didn't feel like typing the rest out though lol  :(
