We'll move the number 9^3 to the right
side:
3^(x^2-7x+10) =
9^3
We'll create matching bases both sides. Therefore,
we'll re-write 9^3 = (3^2)^3 = 3^(2*3) = 3^6
We'll re-write
the equation as it follows:
3^(x^2-7x+10) =
3^6
Since the bases are matching now, we'll apply one to
one rule and we'll equate the
superscripts:
(x^2-7x+10)=6
We'll
subtract 6 both
sides:
x^2-7x+10-6=0
x^2-7x+4=0
We'll
apply quadratic
formula:
x1=[7+sqrt(49-16)]/2
x1=(7+sqrt33)/2
x2=(7-sqrt33)/2
The
possible values of the exponent x are: {(7-sqrt33)/2
;(7+sqrt33)/2}.
