Solution by Steps
step 1
To solve the equation 79x+7=27^{9x + 7} = 2, we take the logarithm of both sides
step 2
This gives us 9x+7=log7(2)9x + 7 = \log_7(2)
step 3
Rearranging the equation, we find 9x=log7(2)79x = \log_7(2) - 7
step 4
Dividing by 9, we get x=log7(2)79x = \frac{\log_7(2) - 7}{9}
step 5
Using the change of base formula, we can express log7(2)\log_7(2) as log(2)log(7)\frac{\log(2)}{\log(7)}. Thus, x=log(2)log(7)79x = \frac{\frac{\log(2)}{\log(7)} - 7}{9}
step 6
Finally, we can simplify this to x=2iπn7log(7)+log(2)9log(7)x = \frac{2i\pi n - 7\log(7) + \log(2)}{9\log(7)} where nZn \in \mathbb{Z}
Answer
x=log(2)7log(7)9log(7)x = \frac{\log(2) - 7\log(7)}{9\log(7)}
Key Concept
Solving exponential equations using logarithms
Explanation
The solution involves taking the logarithm of both sides to isolate the variable in the exponent. This allows us to express the solution in terms of logarithmic functions.
