Q. 3: The real root of the equation 2^6x + 2^(3x+2)-21=0 is?
1. log(base2)3 / 2
2. log(base2)9
3. log(base2)27
4. log(base2)7 / 3
Let 2^(3x) = k
So given equation 2^6x + 2^(3x+2) – 21 =0
Or (2^3x)^2 + 4*2^3x -21 =0
Or k^2 + 4k -21 =0
(k+7)*(k-3) =0
k = -4 or 3
k= -4 is not possible
so k =3
or 2^3x = 3
taking log of both sides 3x * log 2 = log 3
3x = log 3 / log 2
3x = log(base2)3
Or x = (log(base2)3) /3
Option a) (log(base2)3) /3
