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
aƒ(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.
