  5. 523x3253x=75 \cdot 2^{3x} - 3 \cdot 2^{5-3x} = -7
  6. x=(x)xx = (\sqrt{x})^x

I'll solve them step by step.


1. 8x4x=2x+18^x - 4^x = 2^{x+1}

Rewrite terms in base 22:

  • 8x=(23)x=23x8^x = (2^3)^x = 2^{3x}
  • 4x=(22)x=22x4^x = (2^2)^x = 2^{2x}

Substitute into the equation: 23x22x=2x+12^{3x} - 2^{2x} = 2^{x+1}

Factor out 2x2^{x}:

2x(22x2x2)=02^{x} (2^{2x} - 2^x - 2) = 0

For 2x02^x \neq 0, solve: 22x2x2=02^{2x} - 2^x - 2 = 0

Let y=2xy = 2^x. Then: y2y2=0y^2 - y - 2 = 0

Factorize: (y2)(y+1)=0(y - 2)(y + 1) = 0

Solutions: y=2ory=1y = 2 \quad \text{or} \quad y = -1

Since y=2x>0y = 2^x > 0, y=2y = 2. Therefore: 2x=2    x=12^x = 2 \implies x = 1


2. 43x22x+1+2=923x22x4 \sqrt{3x^2 - 2x + 1} + 2 = 9 \cdot 2\sqrt{3x^2 - 2x}

Simplify:

Let y=3x22xy = \sqrt{3x^2 - 2x}. Then: 4y+2=18y4y + 2 = 18y

Solve for yy: 2=18y4y    2=14y    y=172 = 18y - 4y \implies 2 = 14y \implies y = \frac{1}{7}

Substitute back: 3x22x=17\sqrt{3x^2 - 2x} = \frac{1}{7}

Square both sides: 3x22x=1493x^2 - 2x = \frac{1}{49}

Multiply through by 49: 147x298x1=0147x^2 - 98x - 1 = 0

Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula: x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} Here, a=147a = 147, b=98b = -98, c=1c = -1: x=(98)±(98)24(147)(1)2(147)x = \frac{-(-98) \pm \sqrt{(-98)^2 - 4(147)(-1)}}{2(147)}

Calculate: x=98±9604+588294=98±10192294x = \frac{98 \pm \sqrt{9604 + 588}}{294} = \frac{98 \pm \sqrt{10192}}{294}

Simplify: x=98±101.96294x = \frac{98 \pm 101.96}{294}

Two solutions: x=199.962940.68orx=3.962940.013x = \frac{199.96}{294} \approx 0.68 \quad \text{or} \quad x = \frac{-3.96}{294} \approx -0.013


3. 43x2+x8=2x2+x34 \cdot 3^{x^2} + x - 8 = 2 \cdot \frac{x^2 + x}{3}

Rewriting: 43x2+x8=2x2+2x34 \cdot 3^{x^2} + x - 8 = \frac{2x^2 + 2x}{3}

Multiply through by 3: 123x2+3x24=2x2+2x12 \cdot 3^{x^2} + 3x - 24 = 2x^2 + 2x

Rearrange: 123x22x2+x24=012 \cdot 3^{x^2} - 2x^2 + x - 24 = 0

This is a non-linear equation and can be solved numerically or through iterative methods.


4. 422x6=1832x4 \cdot 2^{2x} - 6 = 18 \cdot 3^{2x}

Rewrite terms:

4(2x)26=18(3x)24 \cdot (2^x)^2 - 6 = 18 \cdot (3^x)^2

Let y=2xy = 2^x and z=3xz = 3^x. Then z=y323z = \frac{y^3}{2^3}: ...
