place the following problems in standard form:
1. 3(1/2)^2x-2
2. (3^x-1)(3^2x+1)
3. (1/4)^-x(1/2)^2x-2
Solution
1. 3(1/2)2x-2
am+n=am*an
=3(1/2)2x(1/2)-2
1/am=a-m
=3(1/2)2x(2-1)-2
(am)n= amn
=3((1/2)2)x(2-1*-2)
=3(1/4)x(22)
=3(1/4)x(4)
=12(1/4)x
=============================
2. (3x-1)(32x+1)
am*an=am+n
=3x-1+2x+1
=33x
=(33)x
=27x
3. (1/4)-x(1/2)2x-2
= ((1/2)2)-x(1/2)2x-2
= (1/2)-2x(1/2)2x-2
=(1/2)-2x+2x-2
=(1/2)-2
=(2-1)-2
=2-1*-2
=22
=4
