Question

Find x: if [9/5]−5 × [9/5]12 = [9/5]3x−2

hintHint:

In Mathematics, lets say, "a" represents a number and "n" is the number of times that number is to be multiplied with itself, in order to get a desired result. Then, such result can be written as an, where a is called the base and n is its power/ exponent.
an = a × a × ... × a                              n times.

The correct answer is: Value of x for the given equation is 3.


    Step-by-step solution:-
    [9/5]−5 × [9/5]12 = [9/5]3x−2
    ∴ [5/9]5 × [9/5]12 = [9/5]3x−2 ................................. (b-n = 1 / bn)
    ∴ 55 / 95 × 912 / 512 = [9/5]3x-2 ................................. [an / bn = (a/b)n]
    ∴ 5 912 / 95 × 512 = [9/5]3x-2
    ∴ 912-5 / 512-5 = [9/5]3x-2 ................ (an / am = an-m)
    ∴ 97 / 57 = [9/5]3x-2
    ∴ [9/5]7 = [9/5]3x-2 ................................. [an / bn = (a/b)n]
    ∴ 7 = 3x-2 ................................. (Exponents of the same base in an equation are equal)
    ∴ 7 + 2 = 3x
    ∴ 9 = 3x
    ∴ 9/3 = x
    ∴ 3 = x
    i.e. x = 3
    Final Answer:-
    ∴ Value of x for the given equation is 3.
