MCQ
If $4^{2\text{x}}=\frac{1}{32},$ then the value of x is:
  • A
    $\frac{5}{4}$
  • $-\frac{5}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{4}$
  • D
    $-\frac{5}{2}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$-\frac{5}{4}$

$4^{2\text{x}}=\frac{1}{32}$
$\Rightarrow(2^2)^{2\text{x}}=\frac{1}{2^5}$
$\Rightarrow2^{4\text{x}}2^{-5}$
$\Rightarrow4\text{x}=-5$
$\text{x}=\frac{-5}{4}$
