Q. 62x4=222 6 \cdot 2^{\frac{x}{4}}=222 \newlineWhat is the solution of the equation?\newlineRound your answer, if necessary, to the nearest thousandth.\newlinex x \approx
  1. Isolate exponential term: Isolate the exponential term.\newlineTo solve for xx, we first need to isolate the term containing the variable xx, which is 2x/42^{x/4}. We do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 66.\newline62x/4=2226 \cdot 2^{x/4} = 222\newline2x/4=22262^{x/4} = \frac{222}{6}\newline2x/4=372^{x/4} = 37
  2. Take logarithm of sides: Take the logarithm of both sides.\newlineTo solve for the exponent x/4x/4, we take the logarithm of both sides of the equation. We can use the natural logarithm (ln) or the logarithm base 22 (log2_2) for convenience. Here, we'll use the natural logarithm.\newlineln(2x/4)=ln(37)\ln(2^{x/4}) = \ln(37)
  3. Apply power rule: Apply the power rule of logarithms.\newlineThe power rule of logarithms states that ln(ab)=bln(a)\ln(a^b) = b \cdot \ln(a). We apply this rule to the left side of the equation.\newlinex4ln(2)=ln(37)\frac{x}{4} \cdot \ln(2) = \ln(37)
  4. Solve for x: Solve for x.\newlineNow we need to solve for x by multiplying both sides of the equation by 44 and then dividing by ln(2)\ln(2).\newlinex=4ln(37)ln(2)x = \frac{4 \cdot \ln(37)}{\ln(2)}
  5. Calculate x value: Calculate the value of x.\newlineUsing a calculator, we find the value of xx.\newlinex(4×ln(37))/ln(2)x \approx (4 \times \ln(37)) / \ln(2)\newlinex(4×3.610918)/0.693147x \approx (4 \times 3.610918) / 0.693147\newlinex14.443672/0.693147x \approx 14.443672 / 0.693147\newlinex20.839x \approx 20.839
