We'll write the 1st factor as a
fraction:
0.6^x = (6/10)^x =
(3/5)^x
We notice that 25/9 =
(5/3)^2
We'll raise both sides by (x^2 -
12):
(25/9)^(x^2 - 12) = (5/3)^2*(x^2 -
12)
We notice that 27/125 =
(3/5)^3
We'll raise both sides by
3:
(27/125)^3 = (3/5)^9
We'll
write the equation:
[(3/5)^x]*[(5/3)^2*(x^2 - 12)] =
(3/5)^9
But [(5/3)^2*(x^2 - 12)] = [(3/5)^-2*(x^2 -
12)]
Since the bases form the left side are matching, we'll
add the exponents:
[(3/5)^(x-2*(x^2 - 12))] =
(3/5)^9
Since the bases form the left side are matching,
we'll apply one to one rule:
x-2*(x^2 - 12) =
9
We'll remove the brackets:
x
- 2x^2 + 24 - 9 = 0
-2x^2 + x + 15 =
0
We'll calculate the roots of the
equation:
x1 =
[-1+sqrt(1+120)]/-4
x1 =
(-1+11)/-4
x1 = -5/2
x2 =
3
The required roots of the equation are:
{-5/2 ; 3}.
