\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 6^2x=1


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 36x=1


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow x=1/36

#Part-B


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow 6^0x=1

  • a^0=1


\\ \tt\hookrightarrow x=1

Answer:

A: x = 1/36

B: x = 1

Explanation:

Part A:

(6²)x = 1

6² = 36, so we write 36 instead of 6² and get:

36x = 1

Now we divide both sides by 36 to find the value of x.

x = 1/36

Part B:

(6ˆ0)x = 1

6^0 = 1, so we replace 6^0 with 1 in the equation and get:

1x = 1

1x is the same as x, so our solution is:

x = 1
