If 3^x = 3/5, find the value of 3^(x-3) 2. If 4^(9-2) = 3, find the value of 2^(29-3)

1. If 3^x = 3/5, find the value of 3^(x-3)
2. If 4^(9-2) = 3, find the value of 2^(29-3)

Answer

Given the equation 3^x = 3/5, we want to find the value of 3^(x-3).

First, we express 3^(x-3) using properties of exponents:

 3^(x-3) = 3^x * 3^(-3) 

Substituting the value of 3^x:

 3^(x-3) = (3/5) * 3^(-3) 

Calculating 3^(-3):

 3^(-3) = 1/(3^3) = 1/27 

Now substituting it back:

 3^(x-3) = (3/5) * (1/27) = 3/(5 * 27) 

Calculating the denominator:

 5 * 27 = 135 

So, the final answer is:

 3^(x-3) = 3/135 = 1/45 

Given the equation 4^(9-2) = 3, we want to find the value of 2^(29-3).

First, we simplify 4^(9-2):

 4^(9-2) = 4^7 = 3 

Since 4 = 2^2, we rewrite it:

 (2^2)^7 = 2^(2*7) = 2^14 

Thus, we have:

 2^14 = 3 

Next, we need to find 2^(29-3):

 29 - 3 = 26 

So we want to find 2^26. This can be expressed as:

 2^26 = (2^14)^(26/14) = 3^(26/14) 

Calculating 26/14:

 26/14 = 13/7 

Thus, we have:

 2^26 = 3^(13/7) 

So, the final answer is:

 2^(29-3) = 3^(13/7)
