4^(3+x)=16 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$4^{x + 3} = 16$$
or
$$4^{x + 3} - 16 = 0$$
or
$$64 \cdot 4^{x} = 16$$
or
$$4^{x} = \frac{1}{4}$$
- this is the simplest exponential equation
Do replacement
$$v = 4^{x}$$
we get
$$v - \frac{1}{4} = 0$$
or
$$v - \frac{1}{4} = 0$$
Move free summands (without v)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$v = \frac{1}{4}$$
We get the answer: v = 1/4
do backward replacement
$$4^{x} = v$$
or
$$x = \frac{\log{\left(v \right)}}{\log{\left(4 \right)}}$$
The final answer
$$x_{1} = \frac{\log{\left(\frac{1}{4} \right)}}{\log{\left(4 \right)}} = -1$$
