Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are given an equation involving exponents and need to simplify it to a quadratic form.
2. The bases of the exponents can be rewritten as powers of 3.
3. The simplified quadratic equation is in the form 4x2+bx+c=04x^2 + bx + c = 0.

STEP 2

1. Rewrite all terms with a common base.
2. Simplify the equation using properties of exponents.
3. Rearrange the equation into a quadratic form.
4. Identify the value of cc.

STEP 3

Rewrite each term with a base of 3:
- 81=3481 = 3^4, so 81x(x+2)=(34)x(x+2)=34x(x+2)81^{x(x+2)} = (3^4)^{x(x+2)} = 3^{4x(x+2)}. - 9=329 = 3^2, so 9x8=(32)x8=32(x8)9^{x-8} = (3^2)^{x-8} = 3^{2(x-8)}.
The equation becomes:
34x(x+2)35x7=32(x8)\frac{3^{4x(x+2)}}{3^{5x-7}} = 3^{2(x-8)}

STEP 4

Apply the properties of exponents to simplify:
34x(x+2)(5x7)=32(x8)3^{4x(x+2) - (5x-7)} = 3^{2(x-8)}
This simplifies to:
4x(x+2)5x+7=2(x8)4x(x+2) - 5x + 7 = 2(x-8)

STEP 5

Expand and simplify both sides:
Left side:
4x(x+2)5x+7=4x2+8x5x+7=4x2+3x+74x(x+2) - 5x + 7 = 4x^2 + 8x - 5x + 7 = 4x^2 + 3x + 7
Right side:
2(x8)=2x162(x-8) = 2x - 16
Equating both sides:
4x2+3x+7=2x164x^2 + 3x + 7 = 2x - 16
Rearrange to form a quadratic equation:
4x2+3x+72x+16=04x^2 + 3x + 7 - 2x + 16 = 0
Simplify:
4x2+x+23=04x^2 + x + 23 = 0

STEP 6

Identify the value of cc in the quadratic equation 4x2+x+23=04x^2 + x + 23 = 0.
The value of cc is:
23 \boxed{23}
