Question 1103116: I have this exponential equation that I cannot seem to solve:
5^x = 4^x+1
I didn't get very far; here's my lame attempt:
log5^x = log4^x+1
xlog5 = (x+1) log4
and that's about it. I don't know if I should distribute the log4 over the (x+1) or what. I know the answer is log4/log5/4 ("log 4 divided by log 5/4"), but I don't know how to get there. Can you help?
Thank you

Question 1103126: This is supposed to be an exponential equation of quadratic type, but I'm just not seeing it:
2^x-10(2^-x) +3 = 0
Here's what I did:
2^x - 20^-x + 3 = 0
2^x - (20^-1)^x + 3 = 0
2^x - (1/20)^x +3 = 0
2^x - (1^x/20^x) +3 = 0
And now I'm stumped. I really don't know what I'm doing here. Can you help? Thank you.
