Find x: if [9/5]−5 × [9/5]12 = [9/5]3x−2
Hint:
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]
∴ 55× 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.
