Solve for x 64^x^2 = 256^x
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 0, 1.333333...
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Convert both sides to the same base.
2) Cancel the base of 16 on both sides.
3) Move all terms to one side.
4) Factor out the common term x.
5) Solve for x.
1 - Ask: When will x(1.5x-2) equal zero?
When x = 0 or 1.5x - 2 = 0
2 - Solve each of the 2 equations above.
x = 0, 1.333333...

When you are multiplying an exponent directly into a number/variable with an exponent, you multiply the exponents together.
For example:
When you are multiplying a variable with an exponent by another variable with an exponent, you add the exponents together.
For example:
You multiply 3 into each exponent in the numerator and the denominator
When you have a negative exponent, you move it to the other side of the fraction to make the exponent positive.
When you have something like this:
You subtract the exponents together, so:
