Find the value of x so that (2–1 + 4–1 + 6–1 + 8–1)x = 1

योग

उत्तर

We have (2–1 + 4–1 + 6–1 + 8–1)x = 1

Using law of exponents, `a^-m = 1/a^m`  ...[∵ a is non-zero integer]

Then, `(1/2 + 1/4 + 1/6 + 1/8)^x = 1`

⇒ `((12 + 6 + 4 + 3)/24)^x = 1`  ...[∵ LCM of 2, 4, 6 and 8 = 24]

⇒ `(25/24)^x = 1`

This can be possible only if x = 0. Since, a0 = 1.  ....[Law of exponents]
