find the value of 8 1 x .

nice good solution
how did u think of this
How would you see this kind of thing? What is the thing that I need to make it click? It seems so not straight forward.
It would be nice if somebody on brilliant uploaded JEE and KVPY sets (chapterwise chemistry included). Would be highly helpful to many students. By the way nice reasoning sir.
DID THE EXACT SAME XOXO
That's exactly what I did...
Substract 1 from both sides, and get: 3 3 x = 3 3 2 − 3 3 + 1 4 − 3 3 2 + 3 3 − 1 = 3 3 2 − 3 3 + 1 3 3 3 − 3 3 2 + 3 3 = 3 3 2 − 3 3 + 1 3 3 ( 3 3 2 − 3 3 + 1 ) = 3 3 = 3 3 1
So 3x = 3 1 , and if we multiply by 27, we get 81x = 9
The simplest solution: You should have had the higher vote. I upvoted for you.
Gorgeous !
There is one mistake in the last line. It would be: 81x=9
Again, the Factoring Method eludes me. . .Excel gives me the solution:
27^x-1=4/(3^(2/3)-3^(1/3) 27^x = 4/(3^(2/3)-3^(1/3)+1 x*Ln(27)= LN(4/(3^(2/3)-3^(1/3)+1) x= LN(4/(3^(2/3)-3^(1/3)+1)/LN(27)
x= 0,111111111
81x= 9

This should be: 27^x-1......
4/(3^(2/3)-3^(1/3)+1=27^x.......
x*Ln(27) =LN(4/(3^(2/3)-3^(1/3)+1)......
x= LN(4/(3^(2/3)-3^(1/3)+)/LN(27) .......
x= 0,111111111 81x= 9
See above!

Note first that 4 = 3 + 1 = ( 3 3 1 ) 3 + 1 = ( 3 3 1 + 1 ) ( 3 3 2 − 3 3 1 + 1 ) ,
where the identity a 3 + b 3 = ( a + b ) ( a 2 − a b + b 2 ) has been used. Then
3 9 − 3 3 + 1 4 = 3 3 2 − 3 3 1 + 1 4 = 3 3 1 + 1 = ( 2 7 3 1 ) 3 1 + 1 = 2 7 9 1 + 1 .
Thus x = 9 1 , and so 8 1 x = 9 .
