The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given equations has only natural solutions, we will analyze each equation step by step. ### Given Equations: (A) \( 6 \cdot 9^{1/k} - 13 \cdot 6^{1/k} + 6 \cdot 4^{1/k} = 0 \) (B) \( 4x \cdot \sqrt{8^{x-1}} = 4 \) ### Step-by-Step Solution: #### For Equation (A): 1. **Rewrite the equation**: We start with the equation: \[ 6 \cdot 9^{1/k} - 13 \cdot 6^{1/k} + 6 \cdot 4^{1/k} = 0 \] 2. **Substitute \(9\) and \(4\)**: Rewrite \(9\) as \(3^2\) and \(4\) as \(2^2\): \[ 6 \cdot (3^2)^{1/k} - 13 \cdot 6^{1/k} + 6 \cdot (2^2)^{1/k} = 0 \] 3. **Simplify the terms**: This can be rewritten as: \[ 6 \cdot 3^{2/k} - 13 \cdot 6^{1/k} + 6 \cdot 2^{2/k} = 0 \] 4. **Factor out common terms**: Factor out \(6\): \[ 6 \left( 3^{2/k} - \frac{13}{6} \cdot 6^{1/k} + 2^{2/k} \right) = 0 \] 5. **Set the inner expression to zero**: We need to solve: \[ 3^{2/k} - \frac{13}{6} \cdot 6^{1/k} + 2^{2/k} = 0 \] 6. **Test natural number values for \(k\)**: - For \(k = 1\): \[ 3^2 - \frac{13}{6} \cdot 6 + 2^2 = 9 - 13 + 4 = 0 \quad \text{(valid)} \] - For \(k = -1\): \[ 3^{-2} - \frac{13}{6} \cdot 6^{-1} + 2^{-2} \quad \text{(not a natural number)} \] 7. **Conclusion for Equation (A)**: The only valid natural solution is \(k = 1\). #### For Equation (B): 1. **Rewrite the equation**: Start with: \[ 4x \cdot \sqrt{8^{x-1}} = 4 \] 2. **Simplify the equation**: Divide both sides by \(4\): \[ x \cdot \sqrt{8^{x-1}} = 1 \] 3. **Rewrite \(8\)**: Rewrite \(8\) as \(2^3\): \[ x \cdot \sqrt{(2^3)^{x-1}} = 1 \] This simplifies to: \[ x \cdot 2^{(3(x-1))/2} = 1 \] 4. **Isolate \(x\)**: Rearranging gives: \[ x = \frac{1}{2^{(3(x-1))/2}} \] 5. **Test natural number values for \(x\)**: - For \(x = 1\): \[ 1 \cdot \sqrt{8^{1-1}} = 1 \quad \text{(valid)} \] - Check other natural numbers (e.g., \(x = 2\)): \[ 2 \cdot \sqrt{8^{2-1}} = 2 \cdot \sqrt{8} \quad \text{(not valid)} \] 6. **Conclusion for Equation (B)**: The only valid natural solution is \(x = 1\). ### Final Conclusion: Both equations (A) and (B) have only natural solutions.
