To solve the equation, we first simplify the square root of 32:
√32 = √(16 2) = √16 √2 = 4√2
Now, the equation becomes:
128^x - 1/x = 0.25 * 4√2
128^x - 1/x = √2
To simplify further, we notice that x = 1 is a solution to the equation:
128^1 - 1/1 = 128 - 1 = 127 ≠ √2
Therefore, x ≠ 1.
Let's assume x = 2. By substituting x = 2 into the equation:
128^2 - 1/2 = 0.25√2
16384 - 0.5 = 0.25 * 4.47
16383.5 = 1.1175
The solution x = 2 does not satisfy the equation.
However, it's not possible to find a solution that satisfies the equation.
