Can anyone tell me what are the steps for this ?
And how i can solve the second one ?
+118608 $$\\2^{(x-2)}-4^x+8^x=0\\
2^x*2^{-2}-2^{2x}+2^{3x}=0\\
2^x*2^{-2}-(2^{x})^2+(2^{x})^3=0\\
2^x(2^{-2}-2^{x}+(2^{x})^2)=0\\
2^x \mbox{ cannot equal zero so}\\
2^{-2}-2^{x}+(2^{x})^2=0\\
$Let $ y=2^x\\
2^{-2}-y+y^2=0\\
y^2-y+\frac{1}{4}=0\\\\
y=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{1-1}}{2}=\frac{1}{2}\\
$therefore$\\
\frac{1}{2}=2^x\\
2^{-1}=2^x\\
x=-1$$
+23246 For the top equation: there is: (√2 - 1) / (√2 - 1) ---> but this equals 1. So any finite exponent of 1 will work.
For the second equation:
2^(x - 2) - 4^x + 8^x = 0
---> 2^(x - 2) - (2^2)^x + (2^3)^x = 0
---> 2^(x - 2) - 2^(2x) + 2^(3x) = 0 ---> x = -1 (I solved it by graphing; but it checks fairly easily.)
