(o) 9x + 4 = 32 × (27)x + 1

Solution:

(a) 22x + 1 = 8

This can be written as,

22x + 1 = 23

2x + 1 = 3

2x = 3 – 1

2x = 2

We get,

x = 1

(b) 3 × 7x = 7 × 3x

(7x / 7) = (3x / 3)

7x – 1 = 3x – 1 [Using am ÷ an = am – n]

7x – 1= 3x – 1 × 1

7x – 1 = 3x – 1 × 70

[Using a0 = 1]

x – 1 = 0

We get,

x = 1

(c) 2x + 3 + 2x + 1 = 320

This can be written as,

2x + 3 + 2x + 1 = 26 × 5

2x. 23 + 2x.21 = 26 × 5

On taking common terms, we get,

2x (23 + 21) = 26 × 5

2x (8 + 2) = 26 × 5

2x (10) = 26 × 5

2x (10 / 5) = 26

2x. 2 = 26

(2x.2) / 26 = 1

2x + 1 – 6 = 1 × 20

2x – 5 = 1 × 20

x – 5 = 0

We get,

x = 5

(d) 9 × 3x = (27)2x – 5

This can be written as,

32 × 3x = (33)2x – 5

32 × 3x = 33 × (2x – 5)

On further calculation, we get,

32 + x = 36x – 15

1 = (36x – 15) / (32 + x)

1 = 36x – 15 – 2 – x

30 = 35x – 17

5x – 17 = 0

5x = 17

We get,

x = (17 / 5)

(e) 22x + 3 – 9 × 2x + 1 = 0

This can be written as,

22x.23 – 9 × 2x + 1 = 0

Put 2x = t

Then,

22x = t2

So,

22x.23 – 9 × 2x + 1 = 0 becomes,

8t2 – 9t + 1 = 0

8t2 – 8t – 1t + 1 = 0

On taking common terms, we get,

8t (t – 1) – 1 (t – 1) = 0

(t – 1) = 0 or (8t – 1) = 0

t = 1 or t = (1 / 8)

2x = 1 or 2x = (1 / 23)

2x = 20 or 2x = 2-3

Hence,

x = 0 or x = – 3

(f) 1 = px

p0 = px [Using a0 = 1]

Therefore,

x = 0

(g) p3 × p– 2 = px

p3 + (- 2) = px [Using am × an = am + n]

p3 – 2 = px

p1 = px

Hence,

x = 1

(h) p– 5 = (1 / px + 1)

p-5 × px + 1 = 1

p– 5 + x + 1 = 1 [Using am × an = am + n]

px – 4 = p0

x – 4 = 0

We get,

x = 4

(i) 22x + 2x + 2 – 4 × 23 = 0

This can be written as,

22x + 2x + 2 – 22 × 23 = 0

22x + 2x.22 – 22 + 3 = 0 [Using am × an = am + n]

22x + 2x.22 – 25 = 0

22x + 2x. 4 – 32 = 0

Put 2x = t

Then, 22x = t2

22x + 2x.4 – 32 = 0 becomes,

t2 + 4t – 32 = 0

t2 + 8t – 4t – 32 = 0

On taking common terms, we get,

t (t + 8) – 4 (t + 8) = 0

t + 8 = 0 or t – 4 = 0

t = – 8 or t = 4

2x = – 8 or 2x = 4

2x = – 23 or 2x = 22

Now,

Consider second equation,

2x = 22

We get,

x = 2

(j) 9 x 81x = 1/ 27x – 3

This can be written as,

32 x 34x = 1/ 33 (x – 3)

32 x 34x = 1/ 33x – 9

Using (am)n = amn

32 x 34x x 33x – 9 = 1

32 + 4x + 3x – 9 = 1 x 30

On further calculation, we get,

2 + 4x + 3x – 9 = 0

7x – 7 = 0

7x = 7

x = 1

(k) 22x – 1 – 9 × 2x – 2 + 1 = 0

This can be written as,

22x. 2-1 – 9 × 2x. 2– 2 + 1 = 0

Let 2x = t,

So, 22x = t2

Then,

22x.2– 1 – 9 × 2x.2– 2 + 1 = 0 becomes,

(t2 / 2) – 9 × (t / 22) + 1 = 0

(t2 / 2) – (9t / 4) + 1 = 0

Taking LCM, we get,

2t2 – 9t + 4 = 0

2t2 – 8t – t + 4 = 0

2t (t – 4) – 1 (t – 4) = 0

t – 4 = 0 or 2t – 1 = 0

t = 4 or t = (1 / 2)

Hence,

2x = 4 or 2x = (1 / 2)

2x = 22 or 2x = 2– 1

Therefore,

x = 2 or x = – 1

This can be written as,

{1 + (2 / 3)}1 / 2 = (6 / 10)2 – 3x

On taking LCM, we get,

(5 / 3)1 / 2 = (3 / 5)2 – 3x

(3 / 5)– 1 / 2 = (3 / 5)2 – 3x

(- 1 / 2) = 2 – 3x

-1 = 2 (2 – 3x)

(3 / 5)(x + 3) / 2 = (3 / 5)– 3

(x + 3) / 2 = – 3

x + 3 = – 3 × 2

x + 3 = – 6

x = – 6 – 3

We get,

x = – 9

(o) 9x + 4 = 32 × (27)x + 1

This can be written as,

9x + 4 = 32 × (33)x + 1

32 (x + 4) = 32 × 33x + 3

32x + 8 = 32 + 3x + 3

Hence,

2x + 8 = 2 + 3x + 3

2x + 8 = 3x + 5

3x – 2x = 8 – 5

We get,

x = 3

This can be written as,

{(32)(1 / 2)}– 7 × {(3)(1 / 2)}– 5 = 3k

3– 7 × 3(- 5 / 2) = 3k

3-7 – 5 / 2 = 3k

3(- 14 – 5) / 2 = 3k

3(- 19 / 2) = 3k

Therefore,

11. If a = 2(1 / 3) – 2(- 1 / 3), prove that 2a3 + 6a = 3

Solution:

Given

a = 2(1 / 3) – 2(- 1 / 3)

This can be written as,

a = 2(1 / 3) – {1 / 2(1 / 3)}

On taking cube on both sides, we get,

a3 = [2(1 / 3) – {1 / 2(1 / 3)}]3

On further calculation, we get,

a3 = 2 – (1 / 2) – 3 [2(1 / 3) – {1 / 2(1 / 3)}]

a3 = {(4 – 1) / 2} – 3a

a3 = (3 / 2) – 3a

Also given that,

b2 = ac

k2 / y = k1 / x × k1 / z

k2 / y = k1 / x + 1 / z

(2 / y) = (1 / x) + (1 / z)

(2 / y) = (z + x) / zx

We get,

= (2 + a– (p – q) + ap – q) / (1 + ap – q) (1 + a– (p – q))

= 2 + a– (p – q) + ap – q / (1 + a– (p – q) + ap – q + ap – q. a– (p – q))

= 2 + a– (p – q) + ap – q / (1 + a– (p – q) + ap – q + ap – q – p + q

= 2 + a– (p – q) + ap – q / (1 + a– (p – q) + ap – q + a0)

= 2 + a– (p – q) + ap – q / (1 + a– (p – q) + ap – q + 1)

= 2 + a– (p – q) + ap – q / (2 + a– (p – q) + ap – q)
