Solve:(A) (1/27)sqrt3^x=81(^x-1)/9
\n" ); document.write( "OK, it should look this then:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F27%29sqrt%283%5Ex%29\" = \"%2881%5E%28x-1%29%29%2F9\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 27, gets rid of both denominators:
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%283%5Ex%29+=+3%2881%5E%28x-1%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3%5E%28x%2F2%29+=+3%2881%5E%28x-1%29%29\"; exponent equivalent of Square Root is 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "Use nat logs:
\n" ); document.write( "\"ln%283%5E%28x%2F2%29%29+=+ln%283%29+%2B+ln%2881%5E%28x-1%29%29\";
\n" ); document.write( "Use log equiv of exponents
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2F2%29%2Aln%283%29+=+ln%283%29+%2B+%28x-1%29%2Aln%2881%29\";
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2F2%29%2A%281.0986%29+=+1.0986+%2B+%28x-1%29%2A%284.3944%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divided 2 into 1.0986
\n" ); document.write( ".5493x = 1.0986 + 4.3944x - 4.3944
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".5493x = 4.3944x - 3.2958
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ".5493x - 4.3944x = -3.2958
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-3.8451x = -3.2958
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"%28-3.2958%29%2F%28-3.8451%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = +.857
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check solution using calc
\n" ); document.write( "enter: \"%281%2F27%29sqrt%283%5E.857%29\" = .0593
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "\"%2881%5E%28.857-1%29%29%2F9\" = .0593 also, confirms our solution of x=.857
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(B) (cubedsqrt4/2)^6x=2sqrt2
\n" ); document.write( "On the 2nd one is this what you mean?
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28cubeRt%284%29%2F2%29%5E%286x%29\" = \"2sqrt%282%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use a calc to find cube root of 4 divided by 2: enter 4^(1/3)/2 = .7937
\n" ); document.write( "Use a calc to find the square root of 2 times 2: enter 2^(1/2)*2 = 2.8284
\n" ); document.write( "now we have:
\n" ); document.write( "\".7937%5E%286x%29+=+2.8284\"
\n" ); document.write( "Find the nat log of both sides, use the log equiv of exponents
\n" ); document.write( "6x * ln(.7937) = ln(2.8284)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "6x * -.23105 = 1.0397
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-1.3863x = 1.0397; multiplied by 6
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"1.0397%2F%28-1.3863%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = -.74998 ~ -.75 is what it is:
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this using a calc
\n" ); document.write( "Find the value of 6x: -.75*6 = -4.5
\n" ); document.write( "enter: \"%284%5E%281%2F3%29%2F2%29%5E%28-4.5%29\" = 2.8284
\n" ); document.write( "enter: \"2sqrt%282%29\" = 2.8284 also confirms our solution x = -.75
