Explanation:
The equations
2x = 32y ,

4. |x1 x2 | = 2

32x = 16y+1

are equivalent to

5. |x1 x2 | = 2
Explanation:
Since

32x = 16y+1 .

1. y =

If x1 , x2 are the solutions of the equation

2

2x = 25y ,

= 76x2 ,

493x+1
the equation can be written as
2

73x = 76x2,
which in turn can be rewritten as

25x = 24(y+1) .

Now set v = 2x and u = 2y . Then

v = u5 ,

v 5 = 16u4 .

Substituting for v in the second equation we

thus get
4

3x2 = 6x 2

u25 = 16u4 ,

by taking logs to the base 7 of both sides. By

the quadratic formula, therefore,

x1 , x2 =

Consequently, since u = 2y ,

Thus

f has domain [0, ).
To determine f 1 we first solve for x in

we see that

Explanation:
Lets first review some properties of log2 (x)
and log2 (x). Since log2 (1) = 0, the graph
of log2 (x) has x-intercept at x = 1. On the

and

To determine this inverse we solve for y in
