The general solution of (8 ^2 x 2 =1+ x ) is
Options
- A(2 n ⁻¹ ( -1 3 ) )
- B(2 n 6 )
- C(2 n ⁻¹ ( 1 3 ) )
- DNone of these
Correct answer
C. (2 n ⁻¹ ( 1 3 ) )
Step-by-step solution
We have, (8 ^2 x 2 =1+ x ) ( aligned & 8 ( 1- x 1+ x )=1+ 1 x = 1+ x x & 8 x-8 ^2 x=(1+ x)^2 & 9 ^2 x -6 x +1=0 & (3 x -1)^2=0 3 x -1=0 & x = 1 3 = (say) x =2 n & x =2 n ⁻¹ ( 1 3 ) where n I aligned )
