Find the values of $x$ in each of the following:$ 2^{x-7} \times 5^{x-4}=1250 $
Given:
\( 2^{x-7} \times 5^{x-4}=1250 \)
To do:
We have to find the value of $x$.
Solution:
We know that,
$(a^{m})^{n}=a^{m n}$
$a^{m} \times a^{n}=a^{m+n}$
$a^{m} \div a^{n}=a^{m-n}$
$a^{0}=1$
Therefore,
$2^{x-7} \times 5^{x-4}=1250$
$\Rightarrow 2^{x} \times 2^{-7}\times5^{x}\times5^{-4}=2 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5$
$\Rightarrow \frac{2^{x} \times 5^{x}}{2^{7} \times 5^{4}}=2 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5$
$\Rightarrow(10)^{x}=2 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5$
$\Rightarrow (10)^{x}=2^{8} \times 5^{8}$
$\Rightarrow (10)^{x}=(10)^{8}$
Comparing both sides, we get,
$x=8$
The value of $x$ is $8$.
