Answer:
B x=-1 x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
25^x = 5 ^ (x^2 -3)
Replace 25 by 5^2
5^2^x = 5 ^ (x^2 -3)
We know that a^b^c = =a^(b*c)
5^(2x) = 5 ^ (x^2 -3)
The bases are the same so the exponents must be the same
2x = x^2 -3
Subtract 2x from each side
2x-2x = x^2 -3 -2x
0 = x^2 -2x-3
Factor
0 =(x-3) (x+1)
Using the zero product property
x-3 =0 x+1 =0
x=3 x=-1
