Question Number 104475 by pete last updated on 21/Jul/20

Solve 2^(2x)  + 42^x −32=0

$$\mathrm{Solve}\:\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2x}} \:+\:\mathrm{42}^{\mathrm{x}} −\mathrm{32}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$

I think there is a typo in question.  It should be:  Solve 2^(2x)  + 4.2^x −32=0  Solution: Let 2^x =y  y^2 +4y−32=0  y=4,−8  But y=−8 is inadmissible.  ∴ y=4  x=2

$${I}\:{think}\:{there}\:{is}\:{a}\:{typo}\:{in}\:{question}. \\ $$$${It}\:{should}\:{be}: \\ $$$$\mathrm{Solve}\:\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2x}} \:+\:\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{x}} −\mathrm{32}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${Solution}:\:{Let}\:\mathrm{2}^{{x}} ={y} \\ $$$${y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}{y}−\mathrm{32}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${y}=\mathrm{4},−\mathrm{8} \\ $$$${But}\:{y}=−\mathrm{8}\:{is}\:{inadmissible}. \\ $$$$\therefore\:{y}=\mathrm{4} \\ $$$${x}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$

2^(2x) +4.2^x −32=0  p^2 +4p−32=0   {2^x =p  p=−8,4  2^x =4⇒x=2  2^x =−8  xlog2=log(−1)+log(8)  x=((log(e^(πi) )+log(8))/(log(2)))=((πi+log8)/(log2))(Another solution)

$$\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}{x}} +\mathrm{4}.\mathrm{2}^{{x}} −\mathrm{32}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${p}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}{p}−\mathrm{32}=\mathrm{0}\:\:\:\left\{\mathrm{2}^{{x}} ={p}\right. \\ $$$${p}=−\mathrm{8},\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}^{{x}} =\mathrm{4}\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}^{{x}} =−\mathrm{8} \\ $$$${xlog}\mathrm{2}={log}\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)+{log}\left(\mathrm{8}\right) \\ $$$${x}=\frac{{log}\left({e}^{\pi{i}} \right)+{log}\left(\mathrm{8}\right)}{{log}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)}=\frac{\pi{i}+{log}\mathrm{8}}{{log}\mathrm{2}}\left({Another}\:{solution}\right) \\ $$
