Question Number 163452 by HongKing last updated on 07/Jan/22
Solve for real numbers:  3^(x (√x))   +  3^(1 + (1/( (√x))))   = 12
$$\mathrm{Solve}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{real}\:\mathrm{numbers}: \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}^{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{x}}\:\sqrt{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{x}}}} \:\:+\:\:\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{1}\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{x}}}}} \:\:=\:\mathrm{12} \\ $$

i don′t think such equations have  much technique values. basically  we must “see” or guess the solutions.  here for example: we guess 3^2 +3=12  then see x=1 is ok.  i say this has no technique value,  but rather stupid, because we are dead  if the equation is  3^(x (√x))   +  3^(1 + (1/( (√x))))   = 11.  i have never understood what the  creators (i don′t mean Hongking sir)  of such questions want to test from  the students.

solve  (1/( (√x)))=t⇒(1/x)=t^2 ⇒x=(1/t^2 )  3^((1/t^2 )×(1/t)) +3^1 ×3^t =12  3^(1/t^3 ) +3^1 ×3^t =12  3^t (3^((1/t^3 )−t) +3)=(3×4)  3^t =3^1 ⇒t=1  3^((1/t^3 )−t) =1⇒3^((1/t^3 )−t) =3^0   (1/t^3 )−t=0⇒1−t^4 =0⇒t^4 =1⇒t=1  how   x=(1/t^2 )⇒x=1
$${solve}\:\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{{x}}}={t}\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}}={t}^{\mathrm{2}} \Rightarrow{x}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}^{\mathrm{2}} }×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}}} +\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{1}} ×\mathrm{3}^{{t}} =\mathrm{12} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}^{\mathrm{3}} }} +\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{1}} ×\mathrm{3}^{{t}} =\mathrm{12} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}^{{t}} \left(\mathrm{3}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}^{\mathrm{3}} }−{t}} +\mathrm{3}\right)=\left(\mathrm{3}×\mathrm{4}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}^{{t}} =\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{1}} \Rightarrow{t}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}^{\mathrm{3}} }−{t}} =\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\mathrm{3}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}^{\mathrm{3}} }−{t}} =\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{0}} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}^{\mathrm{3}} }−{t}=\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow\mathrm{1}−{t}^{\mathrm{4}} =\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow{t}^{\mathrm{4}} =\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow{t}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${how}\:\:\:{x}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{t}^{\mathrm{2}} }\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$ \\ $$
