Question Number 104199 by hardylanes last updated on 20/Jul/20
solve for real values of x the equation  4(3^(2x+1) )+17(3^x )=7.  if m and n are positive real numbers other  than 1, show that the log_n m+log_(1/m) n=0

12.3^x +17.3^x −7=0  3^x = ((−17+(√(289+48.7)))/(24))  3^x  = ((−17+25)/(24)) = (1/3)  ∴ x = −1
$$\mathrm{12}.\mathrm{3}^{{x}} +\mathrm{17}.\mathrm{3}^{{x}} −\mathrm{7}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}^{{x}} =\:\frac{−\mathrm{17}+\sqrt{\mathrm{289}+\mathrm{48}.\mathrm{7}}}{\mathrm{24}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}^{{x}} \:=\:\frac{−\mathrm{17}+\mathrm{25}}{\mathrm{24}}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\therefore\:{x}\:=\:−\mathrm{1} \\ $$

4(3^(2x+1) )+17(3^x ) = 7  12(3^x )^2 +17(3^x )−7 = 0  u = 3^x   12u^2 +17u−7 = 0  Δ = 17^2 −4×12×(−7) = 625 = 25^2   u = ((−17±25)/(24))  u = 3^x  ⇒ u>0  then u = ((−17+25)/(24)) = (1/3)  u = 3^x  = (1/3) ⇒ x = −1  I think your second  question is false  (it′s true only for m = n  or m = (1/n)) but :  log_n m+log_(1/n) m =  ((lnm)/(lnn))+((lnm)/(ln(1/n))) =   ((lnm)/(lnn))−((lnm)/(lnn)) = 0
