Solve for x 2^(x^2-3x+2) = 4^3

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}.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
