How + came in second step? |

a^m+a^n=a^m+n.according this formula sum of LHS power is equal to RHS power.i.e.3.5+4.5 = 8. |

(2^n * 6^ m+1 * 2^n+1 * 3^2m)/ (3^-n * 6^2m * 2^4+m)=181398528 then the value of n is? |

Simple calculation is: (17)3.5 x (17)x = (17)8. So, 3.5+x = 8. Means x = 8-3.5. x = 4.5. |

(17)3.5 x(17)x = (17)8. Therefore,(17)3.5+x = (17)8. x = (17)8-3.5. x = (17)4.5. |

As per the laws of exponential (x)y.(x)m = (x)y+m. (17)3.5*(17)x = (17)8. 3.5 + x = 8. X = 8 - 3.5. X = 4.5. |

@Mithun said the formula (x)y.(x)m = (x)y+m. But in the second step when value are put then m is not write in the place after 17Ã-8 why? |

Simple maths you just do 8-3.5 = 4.5. |

I want with explanation and simple solution. |

Simple 8 - 3.5 = 4.5. |

=17^3.5 * 17^*=17^8. =17^3.5* * =17^8. =17*= 17^8-3.5. =17*= 4.5. Answer =4.5. |

Just look at the below simple derivation. a.a.a.......m times = a^m, a.a.a.......n times. = a^n, (a.a.a.......m times).(a.a.a.......n times) = a.a.a......m+n times = a^(m+n). Now we got, a^m . a^n = a^(m+n). Applying the above formula to the given question, 17^3.5 . 17^x = 17^8, 17^(3.5+x) = 17^8, 3.5 + x = 8, x = 4.5. |

Please explain the calculation of 17^3.5. |
Vijay said: (Jan 21, 2022) | |
Yes, A^m * A^n = A^m+n. |
