Consider the functions f(x)=5×4^(−x) and g(x)=(0.25)^(2x) +4 For what values of x do these functions assume equal values?
$${Consider}\:{the}\:{functions}\: \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{5}×\mathrm{4}^{−{x}} \:{and}\:{g}\left({x}\right)=\left(\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{25}\right)^{\mathrm{2}{x}} +\mathrm{4} \\ $$$${For}\:{what}\:{values}\:{of}\:{x}\:{do}\:{these}\: \\ $$$${functions}\:{assume}\:{equal}\:{values}? \\ $$

(5/4^x )=(1/4^(2x) )+4⇒(5/2^(2x) )−(1/2^(4x) )=4⇒((5×2^(2x) −1)/2^(4x) )=4⇒ 5×2^(2x) −1=4×2^(4x) ⇒5×2^(2x) −4×2^(4x) =1⇒ 2^(2x) (5−4×2^(2x) )=1 t=2^(2x) ⇒t(5−4t)=1⇒4t^2 −5t+1=0⇒ { ((t=1⇒2^(2x) =1⇒x=0)),((t=(1/4)⇒2^(2x) =(1/4)=2^(−2) ⇒x=−1)) :}
$$\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{4}^{{x}} }=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}^{\mathrm{2}{x}} }+\mathrm{4}\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}{x}} }−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{4}{x}} }=\mathrm{4}\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{5}×\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}{x}} −\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{4}{x}} }=\mathrm{4}\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{5}×\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}{x}} −\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{4}×\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{4}{x}} \Rightarrow\mathrm{5}×\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}{x}} −\mathrm{4}×\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{4}{x}} =\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}{x}} \left(\mathrm{5}−\mathrm{4}×\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}{x}} \right)=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${t}=\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}{x}} \Rightarrow{t}\left(\mathrm{5}−\mathrm{4}{t}\right)=\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\mathrm{4}{t}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{5}{t}+\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\begin{cases}{{t}=\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}{x}} =\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{0}}\\{{t}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}{x}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}=\mathrm{2}^{−\mathrm{2}} \Rightarrow{x}=−\mathrm{1}}\end{cases} \\ $$$$ \\ $$

∵ the functions assume equal values ∴ 5×4^(−x) = (0.25)^(2x) +4 5×((1/4))^x = ((1/4))^(2x) + 4 let ((1/4))^x = a ∴ a^2 −5a +4 = 0 ⇒ (a−4)(a−1) = 0 ∴ either or (a−4) = 0 (a−1) = 0 a = 4 a = 1 ((1/4))^x = 4 ((1/4))^x = 1 ⇒ x = −1 and 0 please check.
