Question

Find the value of n.

`(2^n xx 2^6)/2^-3 = 2^18`

Sum

Solution

Given, `(2^n xx 2^6)/2^-3 = 2^18`

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

⇒ 2n × 26 × 23 = 218

⇒ 2n + 9 = 218   ...[∵ am × an = am + n]

On comparing both sides, we get   

n + 9 = 18  ...[∵ am ÷ an = (a)m – n]

⇒ n = 9
