If a 2 x = b x + 1 a^{2x} = b^{x+1} , express x x in terms of a a and b b .

x=(logb)/2loga - logb
9000
x=log(a)/2(log a) - log(b) x=12 x=42

a 2 x = b x + 1 \large a^{2x} = b^{x + 1}

a 2 x = b x . b \large \implies a^{2x} = b^x . b

a 2 x b x = b \large \implies \frac{a^{2x}}{b^x} = b

[ a 2 b ] x = b \large \implies \left[\frac{a^2}{b} \right]^x = b

By taking natural logarithm

x [ l o g ( a 2 ) l o g ( b ) ] = l o g b \large \implies x \left[log(a^2) - log(b) \right] = log b

x = l o g b l o g ( a 2 ) l o g b \large \therefore x = \frac{log b}{log(a^2) - logb}

x = l o g b 2 l o g a l o g b \large \implies x = \frac{log b}{2 loga - logb}
