MCQ
If $\frac{2^{x-1} \times 4^{2 x+1}}{8^{x-1}}=64$ then x is equal to
  • 1
  • B
    2
  • C
    -2
  • D
    3

Answer

Correct option: A.
1
(a)
We have,
$\begin{aligned} & \frac{2^{x-1} \times 4^{2 x+1}}{8^{x-1}}=64 \Rightarrow \frac{2^{x-1} \times\left(2^2\right)^{2 x+1}}{\left(2^3\right)^{x-1}}=64 \Rightarrow \frac{2^{x-1} \times 2^{2(2 x+1)}}{2^{3(x-1)}}=2^6 \Rightarrow \frac{2^{x-1+4 x+2}}{2^{3 x-3}}=2^6 \\ \Rightarrow \quad & \frac{2^{5 x+1}}{2^{3 x-3}}=2^6 \Rightarrow 2^{5 x+1} \times 2^{-3 x+3}=2^6 \Rightarrow 2^{5 x+1-3 x+3}=2^6 \Rightarrow 2 x+4=6 \Rightarrow 2 x=2 \Rightarrow x=1\end{aligned}$
