AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on simplifying the expression [log_3(2^x) * 3^(2x)]/e^(2lnx). The user correctly identifies that e^(2lnx) simplifies to x^2 and log_3(2^x) simplifies to x*log_3(2). The expression is then rewritten as [3^(2x)/x] * log_3(2). Participants confirm that the simplification process appears correct, although one suggests improving readability. The conversation emphasizes the importance of clarity in mathematical expressions.

Homework Statement



Simplify the following:

[log_3(2^x) * 3^(2x)]/e^(2lnx)

The Attempt at a Solution



e^(2lnx) = x^2
Log_3(2^x) = xlog_3(2)

Thus:

= 3^(2x)*x*log_3(2) / x^2
= [3^(2x)/x] * log_3(2)

Am I missing anything here? I don't seem to find anyway to continue simplification, although the 3^2x seems like a weird choice if I cannot somehow use log_3(2) with it.

Looks fine to me! :smile:

(apart from being difficult to read, that is :rolleyes: … try using the X2 and X2 tags just above the Reply box :wink:)
 
I tried to combine those 2 formulas but it didn't work. I tried using another case where there are 2 red balls and 2 blue balls only so when combining the formula I got ##\frac{(4-1)!}{2!2!}=\frac{3}{2}## which does not make sense. Is there any formula to calculate cyclic permutation of identical objects or I have to do it by listing all the possibilities? Thanks
