Here are the solutions for the exponential equations:

:

  1. Rewrite the equation with the same base.

    22x+4=12^{2x+4} = 1

    Since 1=201 = 2^0, we have:

    22x+4=202^{2x+4} = 2^0
  2. Equate the exponents.

    2x+4=02x+4 = 0
  3. Solve for xx.

    2x=−42x = -4 x=−42x = \frac{-4}{2} x=−2x = -2

    The student's solution for this problem is correct.

    x=−2\boxed{x = -2}

    :

  4. Rewrite the equation with the same base.

    24x+2=642^{4x+2} = 64

    Since 64=2664 = 2^6, we have:

    24x+2=262^{4x+2} = 2^6
  5. Equate the exponents.

    4x+2=64x+2 = 6
  6. Solve for xx.

    4x=6−24x = 6-2 4x=44x = 4 x=44x = \frac{4}{4} x=1x = 1

    The student's solution for this problem is correct.

    x=1\boxed{x = 1}

    :

  7. Rewrite the equation with the same base.

    2x+3=4x2^{x+3} = 4^x

    Since 4=224 = 2^2, we have:

    2x+3=(22)x2^{x+3} = (2^2)^x

    Using the exponent rule (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{mn}:

    2x+3=22x2^{x+3} = 2^{2x}
  8. Equate the exponents.

    x+3=2xx+3 = 2x
  9. Solve for xx.

    3=2x−x3 = 2x - x 3=x3 = x x=3\boxed{x = 3}

    The student's solution for this problem is incorrect.

    :

  10. Rewrite the equation with the same base.

    32x+7=813^{2x+7} = 81

    Since 81=3481 = 3^4, we have:

    32x+7=343^{2x+7} = 3^4
  11. Equate the exponents.

    2x+7=42x+7 = 4
  12. Solve for xx.

    2x=4−72x = 4-7 2x=−32x = -3 x=−32x = \frac{-3}{2} x=−1.5x = -1.5

    The student's solution for this problem is correct.

    x=−1.5\boxed{x = -1.5}
