    The equation \[{{\log }_{3}}({{3}^{x}}-8)=2-x\] has the solution

    A) \[x=1\]

    B) \[x=2\]

    C) \[x=3\]

    D) \[x=4\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    [b] \[{{\log }_{3}}({{3}^{x}}-8)=2-x\Rightarrow {{3}^{x}}-8={{3}^{2-x}}\] where \[{{3}^{x}}-8>0\] \[\Rightarrow {{3}^{x}}-8=\frac{9}{{{3}^{x}}}\Rightarrow {{({{3}^{x}})}^{2}}-8({{3}^{x}})-9=0\] \[\Rightarrow ({{3}^{x}}+1)({{3}^{x}}-9)=0\Rightarrow {{3}^{x}}=9\,\,\,\,\,\,[\because \,\,\,{{3}^{x}}\ne -1]\] \[\therefore x=2\]
