Show Solution

Find the roots
x=log2(3)−11
Alternative Form
x≈1.709511
Evaluate
9x−2×6x
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
9x−2×6x=0
Factor the expression
(3x−2x+1)×3x=0
Separate the equation into 2 possible cases
3x−2x+1=03x=0
Solve the equation
More Steps

Calculate
3x−2x+1=0
Move the expression to the right side
3x=2x+1
Take the logarithm of both sides
log2(3x)=log2(2x+1)
Evaluate the logarithm
xlog2(3)=x+1
Calculate
log2(3)×x=x+1
Move the variable to the left side
log2(3)×x−x=1
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(log2(3)−1)x=1
Divide both sides
log2(3)−1(log2(3)−1)x=log2(3)−11
Divide the numbers
x=log2(3)−11
x=log2(3)−113x=0
Since the left-hand side is always positive,and the right-hand side is always 0,the statement is false for any value of x
x=log2(3)−11x∈/R
Solution
x=log2(3)−11
Alternative Form
