2^(2a) +2^a = 10  what is a?
$$\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}{a}} +\mathrm{2}^{{a}} =\:\mathrm{10} \\ $$$${what}\:{is}\:{a}? \\ $$

2^(2a) +2^a −10=0  (2^a )^2 +2^a −10=0  2^a =−(1/2)±(√((1/4)+10))=−(1/2)±((√(41))/2)  2^a >0∀a∈R ⇒ 2^a =((−1+(√(41)))/2)  a=((ln ((−1+(√(41)))/2))/(ln 2))=((ln (−1+(√(41))))/(ln 2))−1
$$\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}{a}} +\mathrm{2}^{{a}} −\mathrm{10}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{2}^{{a}} \right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}^{{a}} −\mathrm{10}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}^{{a}} =−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\pm\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}+\mathrm{10}}=−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\pm\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{41}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}^{{a}} >\mathrm{0}\forall{a}\in\mathbb{R}\:\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{2}^{{a}} =\frac{−\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{41}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${a}=\frac{\mathrm{ln}\:\frac{−\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{41}}}{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{ln}\:\left(−\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{41}}\right)}{\mathrm{ln}\:\mathrm{2}}−\mathrm{1} \\ $$

  2^(2a) + 2^a  = 10  2^a (2^a +1) −10=0     put     2^a  = x  x(x+1)−10 = 0  x^2 +x−10=0  x = ((−1±(√(1+40)))/2) = ((−1+(√(41)))/2) (+ve)  2^a  = ((((√(41))−1)/2))  a∙log(2) = log((((√(41))−1)/2))  a = ((log((((√(41))−1)/2)))/(log(2)))  a = log_2 ((((√(41))−1)/2)) Answer
