    I feel the quick way to approach this problem is to recognise that we have a polynomial where both y^3 and y exist. This should ring a bell that we should find some cubed number somewhere. We can write 130 = 125 + 5 = 5^3 + 5. That's it. Immediately we get y^3 - 5^3 + y - 5 = 0, or (y -5)(y^2 + 5y + 26) = 0, where y = 2^x. Here onwards, it is simple.

    FASTER APPROACH : 8^x+2^x is always increasing function, hence one root only. Setting x equal to some numbers, we realize that x is between 2 and 3. Consequently,y is between 4 and 8, but y is obviously less than 6 by analyzing cubic equation. So y is between 4 and 6, try 5 and we get that y=5. Everything can be solved in mind.

    For all functions of type f(x)=ax^3+bx+c the equation f(x)=0 can have only one real root in case of a>0, b>0, because f'(x)=3ax^2+b>0 and therefore f(x) is monotonically increasing. Also, if the equation f(x)=0 has rational roots in the form p/q, p is a divisor of c and q is a divisor of a. If a=1, the rational roots are always whole numbers. One can immediately see that in the specific example f(y)=y^3+y-130=0 , y=5 is a solution, because we first check the whole divisors of 130 (+-1, +-2, +-5, +-10, +-13). Try to solve x^7+x^5+x^3+x=170 with your method....No chance. With above, you show that x=2 is the only root in just 2 rows.

    First observe that 8^x=(2^3)^x=(2^x)^3. Then set 2^x=y and you get the equation: y^3+y=y*(y^2+1)=130. A few trials gives y=5 and thus x=ln(5)/ln(2)=log(5)/log(2).

    Before watching: This is not one that can be easily solved by simply plugging in integers and hoping for a result. Our solution is going to be somewhere between 2 (8^2 + 2^2 = 64+4=68) and 3 (8^3 + 2^3 = 512+8 = 520), and probably closer to 2 than to 3. Therefore, we have to actually do some calculations. Alright, 8 = 2^3, and (a^b)^c = a^(bc). Thus 8^x = (2^3)^x = 2^(3x). We declare U = 2^x. Then 8^x = 2^(3x) = u^3. Then we have u^3 + u = 130. Subtract 130 from both sides to get u^3+u-130=0. Now, we attempt to factor this. The factors of 130 are 1, 2, 5, 10, and 13. Of those, U=10 gives us results far too large, and U=2 gives us ones far too small. U=5 gives us 125+5-130 = 0, which is accurate. Thus, (u-5) is a factor. after doing some division, we can factor the equation into (u-5)(u^2 + 5u + 26 )=0. Going to use the quadratic formula on the second factor, we note that the discriminant is negative. Thus, these are not real roots, so we can skip this section. Thus, we will go with U=5. However, we're not done! That's the solution for U, not for X. U = 2^x. Thus, we have 2^x = 5. Take log_2 of both sides: Log_2(2^x) = log_2(5) -> X = log_2(5) Log_2 of 5 will be between log_2 of 4 (2) and log_2 of 8 (3), likely closer to 2 than 3. This checks out. If you want to change this to a different log using change of base, you may do so. log_b(a) = (log_c(a))/(log_c(b)),. Then using natural log ln, with a =5 and b = 2: x = (ln 5)/(ln2). (We're not doing this for the sake of precision, but rather so it can be easily checked on a calculator. A lot of calculators don't have functions built into them for logs of different bases, at least not ones that you can get to easily. Thus, you have to switch to either common log (log_10) or natural log (log_e))

    This is hard core algebra. Cubic equations, quadratic equations w/ the quadratic formula, logarithms, fractional exponents, ect…. I did stuff close to this level in high school. The difference was that it did not have multiple layers of this complexity. My takeaway from that experience was that algebra wasn’t hard so long as you worked a lot of different problems and got plenty of practice.

    I think you could simply write 2^x = 5 => x = log2(5) without all these log divisions, because log2(5) literally means power to which we have to rase 2 in order to get 5, which is x in our case

    This can be solved by vanishing factor method By putting y=5 y-5 is a factor 5^3+5-130=0 y^2(y-5)+5y(y-5)+26(y-5)=0 (y-5)(y^2+5y+26)=0 y-5=0 or y^2+5y+26=0 y=5. D for quadratic equation 5^2-4×1×26 is less than 0 No real roots. Solution will be y=5

  • @ladytz2928

    I got from a much easier and faster way 2*3x and 2*x should be equal to 130 so the sum of two of 2 power something should be equal to 130 which is close to 2*7 hence if x=2 the answer is 64+4 and if x= 3 it would be 528, therefore, x should be between 2 and 3 and closer to 2 than 3 and 3x kinda feels be close to 7 as 128 is close to 130 so 7/3=2.33 and as it wouldn't add up (cuz 127+4,9 is greater than 130 we should decrease 2,33 by 0,01 per time to find the right answer then we got the answer of 2.32

    I could have just put some value in place and solved mathematically to make a guess that i have to go up or down a little. Than three attempts later i might have got x=2.3 I have done it many times. You dont need to go in multiple algebrac complications to solve a problem this simple. Afterall numbers are used to avoid hit and trial of actual objects. We can use numbers for hit and trial as that wont even use extra ink or time cz the equations are more complex than hit and trial. Smart work is also intelligence!

    Let y=2^x then y³+y-130=0 Easy to see y=5 is one solution. I will skip complex solutions which just requires synthetic division and quadratic formula to solve. 5=2^x -> log_2(5)= x -> x= ln5/ln2
