solving an exponential equation with different bases, a radical power & a quadratic power

We will solve an exponential equation that has different bases, a radical power & a quadratic power, namely 3^sqrt(x)=6^(x^2). We will be using the change of base formula for logarithm, rules of exponent, factoring techniques, and more. Subscribe to ‪@bprpmathbasics‬ for more fun algebra equations like this!

    @@blast8012 Whenever you have a log with a base, its value is the solution for x: a^x = b; log_a(b) = x So if you take log_3(6) it's the solution for x in this equation: 3^x = 6; x = log_3(6) So if you wanna get 6, and 6 is equal to 3^x, and x is equal to log_3(6), 6 is equal to 3^(log_3(6)).

    It is very simple 3^(x)½=6^(x²) We take the logarithm of both sides. (X½)Log(3)=x²(log(6) Move to one side. Factoring from x½ X½[log(3)-x^(3/2)log(6)]=0 So x½=0 x=0 And x=(log(3)/(log(6))⅔

    Here's my solution: 3^sqrt(x) = 6^(x²) sqrt(x)ln(3) = x²ln(6) x^(3/2) = ln(3)/ln(6) (assuming x =/= 0) x = [log_6(3)]^(2/3) I think this is more legitimate than factoring a zero, since that method assumes the function is continous.

    dividing by zero generally is a worse method than factorisation because you remove a solution, so you also gotta plug in for x = 0 (when it's that obvious, but in some more complex cases it might not be). Factoring just assures you that it's a solution. Showing continuity isn't that hard here because log_n(x): R+ --> R (for the real-valued logarithm where n is positive) and everything else is a polynomial

    simply change of base. I don't know where you can learn about it but it is fairly simple. a = e^(ln a) = e^(ln a ln b / ln b) = e^(ln b))^(ln a / ln b) = b^(ln a / ln b) therefore a = b^(ln a / ln b) should work forall non zero a and b, so long as b isn't 1 (that is, for real values)

    Property of Equality for Exponential Equations- this property is useful to solve an exponential equation with the same bases. It says when the bases on both sides of an exponential equation are equal, then the exponents must also be equal. You learn this concept on khan Academy or other youtube videos.

    The power 1/3 should be 2/3, otherwise it's OK. Note that 1+log₂3=log₂2+log₂3=log₂6, so your fraction = log₂3/log₂6=log3/log6, same as answer in video.

    Why so complicated? By inspection, x = 0 is an obvious root. Now consider only nonzero roots. Take logs (to any consistent base) on both sides: sqrt x log 3 = x^2 log 6. Since x not equal to zero by assumption, rearrange to x^(3/2) = log3/log6 So x = (log3/log6)^(2/3), which can also be written more compactly (but less usefully) as [log_6 (3)] ^(2/3) - the subscript means log to base 6. So the two solutions are x = 0 and x = [log_6 (3)] ^(2/3) = (log3/log6)^(2/3)
