Exam No:9709_w21_qp_32 Year:2021 Question No:1

Answer:

Use law of the logarithm of a product, a quotient or power
Obtain a correct linear equation in any form
Solve a linear equation for \(x\)
Obtain answer \(x=\frac{\ln 6}{\ln 14}\)
Alternative method for Question 1
\(\begin{array}{l}
2^{1-x}=2 \times 2^{-x}
6=2^{x} 7^{x}\left[=14^{x}\right]
\end{array}\)

Use law of the logarithm of a power to solve for \(x\)
Obtain answer \(x=\frac{\ln 6}{\ln 14}\)
