(243)n/5 x 32n + 1 = ?

9n x 3n - 1

1
2
9
3n
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Given Expression
= (243)(n/5) x 32n + 1

9n x 3n - 1

= (35)(n/5) x 32n + 1

(32)n x 3n - 1

= (35 x (n/5) x 32n + 1)

(32n x 3n - 1)

= 3n x 32n + 1

32n x 3n - 1

= 3(n + 2n + 1)

3(2n + n - 1)

=

33n + 1

33n - 1

= 3(3n + 1 - 3n + 1)   = 32   = 9.

243 can be written as 3^5,
a^x+y= a^x*a^y,
a^x-y = a^x/a^y. (a^x)y=a^xy,

According to those formula we can expand the question like this,

[(3^5)^n/5 * 3^2n *3]/ 9^n*3^n/3.
Simplify
3^n * 3^2n *9/3^2n * 3^n,
3^3n *9/ 3^3n =9.

How does this 3^3n-3n-1+1 become 9? Please explain me.

3^3n+1/3^3n-1,
3^(3n+1-3n-1),
3^1 = 3.

3^(3n+1)-(3n-1),

So it will become 3^(3n+1-3n+1).
Because (-)(-) will become(+).

Yes I agree but sub n=1, then its easy.

Gajanan said:   8 years ago
Yes, agree @Karthik.

Karthik said:   8 years ago
But, if you substitute n=1 it becomes 9.

Karthik said:   8 years ago
Yes, you are right @Akash.

It is actually 3 raised to 3x + 1 - 3x - 1.

= 3^(3n + 1) / 3^(3n - 1) ,

= 3^(3n + 1 - 3n + 1) ,

= 3^2 = 9.

How is it formed?
