Answer:

The value of x in the given equation is 0.

Solution:

We know that any number with power 0 is 1
(a^(0)=1)

As given,


\left(7^(2)\right)^(x)=1

As per the formula,
(a^(m))^n = a^(m+n)

Here a is 7; 2 is m and x is n.

On substituting the values,


(7)^(2* x)=1


(7)^(2* x)=7^(0) (//any power of 0 is 1)

Hence from both the side we get,


(2* x) = 0

So, x = 0.

Answer:

x=0

Explanation:

You are asked what is the number to be use as the exponent of
7^(2), in order to get as answer "1".

Use the property of exponents that sates that :
a^0=1

In your case
a=7^2=49 so the exponent "x"must be = 0 (zero)
