If 3 to (x -1) times 3 to (2x + 1) = 27 to y power, then y =? Many don’t get POWERS!

    Thank you for teaching this problem John. I was thinking about this kind of problem the other day and I was disappointed how I avoided the chance to learn it. Thank you so much for sharing this teaching video. More reason to buy your learning software.

    I don’t recommend listening to Iron Maiden while doing math in your head. Took me 2-3 minutes to solve.
    By the way, back in 1967, I was a math geek. I wanted to be a math teacher, but I realized that I did not have the patience to teach.

      NEVER listen to music when doing math. ANY instructional video has has music in it is an automatic fail. (unless of course it is an instructional video on music. But lets say that UA-cam who does a walk through or how to guide for a game lets arbitrarily call "kick a dog" and he has music playing while doing this video. Instant fail)

    ⇒y=x
    First, using rule a^m•a^n=a^(m+n) the left side becomes 3^(x-1+2x+1)
    Next, using the rule (a^m)^n=a^(mn) the right side becomes (after ∛27 becomes 3³) 3^(3y)
    And finally using the rule (a^m=a^n)=(m=n) this: 3^(x-1+2x+1)=3^(3y) becomes
    x-1+2x+1=3y simplifies to 3x=3y which simplifies to y=x and that is my answer.

    I'm 48 watching your videos. Needed the encouragement, thank you.
    I was also too distracted and didn't care in high school.

    Or, from:
    base:3, exponent:3x = base:27, exponent:y
    therefore:
    base:27, exponent:x = base:27, exponent:y
    So, x = y

    Solution:
    multiplying two numbers with the same base means adding the exponents, therefore the left side is 3 to the power of x - 1 + 2x + 1 = 3x
    3³ˣ = (3³)ˣ = 27ˣ
    Therefore y = x

    I under stand what you did, I had forgotten the power to a power rule . Remembering that rule would have made the problem easy.

    Greetings. The answer is Y=X. From the details given, left hand side
    (3^X-1)(3^2X+1)= 3^(X-1 +2X +1)=
    3^3X. The right hand side, 27^Y=
    3^3Y. Moving forward, the left hand side of 3^3X = the right hand side of 3^3Y. That is 3^3X=3^3Y, and
    3X=3Y, dividing throughout by 3 gives X =Y. Lovely.

    Since y = x then any value inserted for x in that power on the left side will = the power with the y exponent.

    Am I right that 3 to (x -1) = 1?

    • @m.h.6470
      @m.h.6470 Рік тому +2

      no, why would you think that?
      3⁰ is 1, but (x-1) ≠ 0, unless x = 1, which we don't know, as x is a unknown variable.

    • @m.h.6470
      @m.h.6470 Рік тому +1

      Actually in all cases, as you can transform the left side to 27ˣ, the equation is literally
      27ˣ = 27ʸ
      There is absolutely no case, where x ≠ y
