If $5^{3x+4} = (5^4)^{105}$, then find the integral part of x.

The correct answer is
138

Solving Exponential Equation for x

We are given the equation: $5^{3x+4} = (5^4)^{105}$

Simplifying the Equation

Using the exponent rule $ (a^m)^n = a^{m \times n} $, we simplify the right side:

$ (5^4)^{105} = 5^{4 \times 105} = 5^{420} $

The equation now becomes:

$ 5^{3x+4} = 5^{420} $

Equating Exponents

Since the bases are the same (base 5), the exponents must be equal:

$ 3x + 4 = 420 $

Solving for x

To find the value of $x$, we first isolate the term with $x$ by subtracting 4 from both sides:

$ 3x = 420 - 4 $ $ 3x = 416 $

Now, we divide by 3 to solve for $x$:

$ x = \frac{416}{3} $ $ x \approx 138.666... $

Finding the Integral Part

The integral part of a number is the whole number part before the decimal point. For $x \approx 138.666...$, the integral part is 138.
