(√(((15)/4^(1−x) )+4^(1−x) ))=32.  Let 4^(1−x) =y      ((15)/y)+y=32^2    y^2 −32^2 y+15=0  y=((32^2 ±(√(32^4 −60)))/2)  y=((2^(10) ±(√(2^(20) −2^2 .15)))/2)  y=((2^(10) ±2(√(2^(18)  −15)))/2)  y=2^9 ±(√(2^(18) −15))  ∵(√(2^(18) −15))=511.985≈512=2^9   ∴ y=4^(1−x) =2^9 ±2^9           2^(2−2x) =0, 2^(10)           2^(2−2x) =2^(−∞)  , 2^(10)   2−2x=−∞  ∣   2−2x=10  x=∞    ∣    2x=2−10=−8⇒x=−4  x=∞ doesn′t satisfy the original equation  hence itis extraneous root, whereas.x=−4 satisfies  Hence finally   x=−4
