Q. Solve the exponential equation for x x .\newline32x5=(116)4x3x= \begin{array}{l} 32^{\frac{x}{5}}=\left(\frac{1}{16}\right)^{4 x-3} \\ x= \end{array}
  1. Recognize Powers of 22: Recognize that 3232 and 1/161/16 can be written as powers of 22. 32=2532 = 2^5 and 1/16=241/16 = 2^{-4}. Rewrite the equation using these powers of 22. (25)x/5=(24)4x3(2^5)^{x/5} = (2^{-4})^{4x-3}
  2. Apply Power Rule: Apply the power of a power rule to simplify both sides of the equation.\newline(25(x5))=(24(4x3))(2^{5*(\frac{x}{5})}) = (2^{-4*(4x-3)})\newline2x=216x+122^x = 2^{-16x+12}
  3. Set Exponents Equal: Since the bases are the same, set the exponents equal to each other. x=16x+12x = -16x + 12
  4. Solve for x: Solve for x by adding 16x16x to both sides of the equation.\newlinex+16x=12x + 16x = 12\newline17x=1217x = 12
  5. Isolate xx: Divide both sides by 1717 to isolate xx.x=1217x = \frac{12}{17}
