If a real variable $x$ satisfies $3^{x^2} = 27 \times 9^x$, then the value of $\frac{2^{x^2}}{(2^{x})^2}$ is:
The problem requires solving an exponential equation for the variable $x$ and then evaluating a specific expression involving $x$. We need to find the value of $\frac{2^{x^2}}{(2^{x})^2}$.
First, rewrite the equation with a common base, which is 3:
Substitute these into the equation:
$3^{x^2} = 3^3 \times (3^2)^x$
Using the exponent rule $(a^m)^n = a^{m \times n}$:
$3^{x^2} = 3^3 \times 3^{2x}$
Using the exponent rule $a^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}$:
$3^{x^2} = 3^{3+2x}$
Since the bases are equal, the exponents must be equal:
$x^2 = 3 + 2x$
Rearrange this into a standard quadratic equation:
$x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0$
Factor the quadratic equation:
$(x-3)(x+1) = 0$
The possible values for $x$ are $x = 3$ or $x = -1$.
Simplify the expression using exponent rules:
First, simplify the denominator: $(2^x)^2 = 2^{2x}$.
The expression becomes:
$\frac{2^{x^2}}{2^{2x}}$
Using the exponent rule $\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}$:
$2^{x^2 - 2x}$
From the quadratic equation step, we found that $x^2 - 2x = 3$. Substitute this value into the expression:
$2^3$
The value of the expression is $2^3$, which is equal to 8.
The 12 musical notes are given as C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#. Frequency of each note is $ \sqrt[12]{2} $ times the frequency of the previous note. If the frequency of the note C is 130.8 Hz, then the ratio of frequencies of notes F# and C is:
