Solve 4^x - 6.2^x+1 + 32 = 0

how to solve this

rames asked a year ago·

You just need to separate the 2^x and substitute its value for some variable. And then substitute it back to the original value.

4x - 6.2x + 1 + 32 = 0
or, 4x - 6.2x.2 + 32 = 0
or, 22x - 6.2x.2 + 32 = 0

Let 2x = a

or, a2 - 6.a.2 + 32 = 0
or, a2 - (8 + 4)a + 32 = 0
or, a2 - 8a - 4a + 32 = 0
or, a(a - 8) - 4(a - 8) = 0
or, (a - 8)(a - 4) = 0

Either a = 8
so, 2x = 23
so, x = 3

OR, a = 4
so, 2x = 22
∴ x = 2

Hence, x = 2, 3
