Please Help me solve this equation: 4n^x=4/n^2
I am trying to solve for x. Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, each side can be divided by 4
Now multiply each side by n^2
The left side is similar to something like
There is a rule that says "Anything raised to the zero power = 1"
So, stated backwards, "If something raised to an exponent = 1, then that
exponent must be zero"
check:
multiply both sides by
OK
