Q. Solve the exponential equation for x.563x−8=1x=
Write as power term: Write 1 as a power term with 56 as the base.Any natural number raised to the power of 0 is 1.So, 1=560
Set exponent equal to 0: Set the exponent of the base 56 in the equation equal to 0. Since 563x−8=560, we can equate the exponents because the bases are the same. 3x−8=0
Solve for x: Solve for x.Add 8 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x.3x−8+8=0+83x=8
Divide by 3: Divide both sides by 3 to solve for x.x=38
