The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \(3^{10} \times 27^{2} = 9^{2} \times 3^{n}\), we will express all terms in the base of 3. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Rewrite the Bases**: - We know that \(27\) can be expressed as \(3^3\) and \(9\) can be expressed as \(3^2\). - Therefore, we rewrite the equation: \[ 3^{10} \times (3^3)^{2} = (3^2)^{2} \times 3^{n} \] 2. **Apply the Power of a Power Rule**: - Using the power of a power rule \((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n}\), we simplify: \[ 3^{10} \times 3^{6} = 3^{4} \times 3^{n} \] 3. **Combine the Exponents on the Left Side**: - On the left side, we can add the exponents since the bases are the same: \[ 3^{10 + 6} = 3^{4} \times 3^{n} \] - This simplifies to: \[ 3^{16} = 3^{4} \times 3^{n} \] 4. **Combine the Exponents on the Right Side**: - On the right side, we can also add the exponents: \[ 3^{16} = 3^{4 + n} \] 5. **Set the Exponents Equal**: - Since the bases are the same, we can set the exponents equal to each other: \[ 16 = 4 + n \] 6. **Solve for \(n\)**: - To find \(n\), we subtract 4 from both sides: \[ n = 16 - 4 = 12 \] Thus, the value of \(n\) is \(12\).
