Let's simplify the given equation step by step:
16 - 4^x lg(7) = |6 7^x * lg(2) - 24|
16 - lg(7^4) = |lg(2^(6 * 7^x)) - 24|
16 - lg(2401) = |lg(2^(6 * 7^x)) - 24|
16 - 4 = |lg(2^(6 * 7^x)) - 24|
12 = |lg(2^(6 * 7^x)) - 24|
Case 1: lg(2^(6 * 7^x)) - 24 > 0
12 = lg(2^(6 7^x)) - 2436 = lg(2^(6 7^x))
Convert the logarithmic equation to exponential form:
2^(6 * 7^x) = 10^36
Solve for x in this case.
Case 2: lg(2^(6 * 7^x)) - 24 < 0
12 = -1 (lg(2^(6 7^x)) - 24)12 = 24 - lg(2^(6 * 7^x))
Also solve for x in this case.
Once you find the solutions for x, substitute them back into the original equation to verify if they satisfy the given equation.
Let's simplify the given equation step by step:
16 - 4^x lg(7) = |6 7^x * lg(2) - 24|
Using the property of logarithms: log(a^b) = b * log(a), we can rewrite the equation as:16 - lg(7^4) = |lg(2^(6 * 7^x)) - 24|
Simplify the logarithmic terms further:16 - lg(2401) = |lg(2^(6 * 7^x)) - 24|
2401 can be expressed as 7^4:16 - lg(7^4) = |lg(2^(6 * 7^x)) - 24|
Since lg(7^4) = 4, the equation becomes:16 - 4 = |lg(2^(6 * 7^x)) - 24|
Simplify the equation further:12 = |lg(2^(6 * 7^x)) - 24|
To simplify the absolute value expression, consider two cases:Case 1: lg(2^(6 * 7^x)) - 24 > 0
12 = lg(2^(6 7^x)) - 24
36 = lg(2^(6 7^x))
Convert the logarithmic equation to exponential form:
2^(6 * 7^x) = 10^36
Solve for x in this case.
Case 2: lg(2^(6 * 7^x)) - 24 < 0
12 = -1 (lg(2^(6 7^x)) - 24)
12 = 24 - lg(2^(6 * 7^x))
Also solve for x in this case.
Once you find the solutions for x, substitute them back into the original equation to verify if they satisfy the given equation.
