Solve the equation 3^(x+1)+3^(x+2)=108

We'll re-write the
equation:


3*3^x +
9*3^x=108


We'll factorize by
3^x:


3^x*(3 + 9) = 108


12*3^x
= 108


We'll divide by 12:


3^x
= 9


We'll create matching bases writting 9 as a power of
3:


3^x = 3^2


Since the bases
are matching now, we can apply one to one rule:


x =
2


The solution of the given equation is x =
2.

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
