Solve each exponential equation. round your answer to two decimal places.
4a. 4²x +3=1

4b. ex-1 -5 = 5

Sagot :

4a.4²x +3=1

Slotuion:

4²x + 3=1 : x= -⅛ (Decimal:x= -0.125)

Steps

4² x +3=1

4²=16

16x + 3=1

Subract 3 from borh sides

16x +3-3=1-3

Simplify

16x=-2

Divides both sides by 16

[tex] \frac{16 \times }{16} =

[tex] \frac{ - 2}{16} [/tex]

[/tex]

Simplitfy

[tex] \frac{16 \times }{16} : x[/tex]

Simplify

[tex] \frac{ - 2}{16}: -⅛ [/tex]

x = -⅛

therefore the answer is x= -

4b.ex-1 -5 =5

x~=3.30258

explanation:

e^(x-1)-5=5

e^(x-1)=10

x-1=ln 10

x-1~=2.30258

x~=3.30258
