Find the Domain 3^(x+1)+3^(x-2)-3^(x-3)+3^(x-4)=750
Problem
Solution
Identify the type of equation. This is an exponential equation where the variable
x appears in the exponents of terms with a constant base of3 Recall the definition of the domain for exponential functions. An exponential function of the form
a^ƒ(x) is defined for all values ofx for which the exponentƒ(x) is defined.Analyze the exponents. The exponents in this equation are
x+1 x−2 x−3 andx−4 Determine the constraints. Each of these exponents is a linear polynomial. Polynomials are defined for all real numbers.
Conclude that there are no values of
x that would result in an undefined expression (such as division by zero or taking the square root of a negative number) within the exponents.
