We'll create matching bases both sides. For this reason,
we'll re-write 4^3 = (2^2)^3 = 2^2*3 = 2^6
We'll re-write
the equation in this way:
2^(x^2-3x+2)=
2^6
Since the bases are matching now, we'll apply one to
one rule and we'll
get:
(x^2-3x+2)=6
We'll
subtract 6 both
sides:
x^2-3x+2-6=0
x^2-3x-4=0
We'll
apply quadratic
formula:
x1=[(-3)+sqrt(9+16)]/2
x1=(3+5)/2
x1=4
x2=[(-3)-sqrt(9+16)]/2
x2=(3-5)/2
x2=-1
The
solutions of the exponential equation are: {-1 ;
4}.
