Zero? podge

coral bronze
#

yea and

#

i think there will be

#

more solutions

tulip depot
#

taking log both sides

#

log a+b= log ab

#

so log 260^x=log120^x

#

using log power rule

#

take out x

#

x log 260=x log 120

#

try doing the rest from here

#

or are you not supposed to use log

tulip depot
#

or am i wrong

#

yeah im wrong i think

0

#

ok it s 0 cause u can see it

#

but can be any other number too

#

I don't think so

the closest we come is -inf

#

20^x dominates all the other exponentials for positive x
8^x dominates all the other exponentials for negative x

2^2x(5^x-2^x) = 15^x-13^x
let's use log_(2)
2x + 2xlog(5^x-2^x) = log(15^x-13^x)
2x=log((15^x -13^x)/5^x -2^x)
let's consider x is not zero
if x is positive
15^x - 13^x is always even
5^x - 2^x is always odd
therefore, x is not a positive integer
if x is negative, we will have a similar outcome, therefore, x is not an integer

not sure how to make it for any real number
also, not sure the log part is needed

#

also, plotting the graph seems like a solution. only 0 and -inf gives a solution (they tend to 0 at -inf)
