Study Notes
Exponential Equations
- Solve (2^x = 16) to find (x = 4) since (16) can be expressed as (2^4).
Exponent Properties
- Using properties of exponents, ((2^3)^x) simplifies to (2^{3x}).
Negative Exponents
- The expression ((5^{-1})^{3x - 7}) simplifies as follows:
- First, apply exponent rules to get (5^{-(3x - 7)}).
- This leads to the equation (-1(3x - 7) = 5^{-3x + 7}).
Manipulation of Negative Exponents
- ((4^{-3})^{1 - x^3}) can be manipulated:
- Transforms to (-3(1 - x^2) = 4^{-3 + 3x^2}).
Solving Variations of Exponential Equations
- For (2^{x-3} = 64):
- Recognize that (64 = 2^6) to set the equation as (2^6 = 2^{x^2 - 3}).
- This gives (6 = x^2 - 3).
- By adding (3) to both sides, (9 = x^2), which leads to (x = 3) or (x = -3) (considering square roots).
Practice Critical Thinking
- Review methods used for transforming and solving various exponential equations for a comprehensive understanding.
Understanding Exponential Rules
- Ensure strong grasp of properties of exponents, including multiplication, division, and power rules, which are essential for simplifying expressions.
