We'll write 15625 as a power of 5, to create matching
bases.
5^(x^2) = 5^6/5^x
We'll
apply the quotient rule of the exponentials that have matching
bases:
5^(x^2) = 5^(6-x)
Since
the base are matching, we'll apply one to one property:
x^2
= 6 - x
We'll subtract 6 - x both
sides:
x^2 + x - 6 = 0
We'll
apply quadratic formula:
x1 = [-1 + sqrt(1 +
24)]/2
x1 = (-1 + 5)/2
x1 =
2
x2 = (-1-5)/2
x2 =
-3
The equation will have 2 solutions and
they are: {-3 ; 2}.
