Find 2^(1+x)

Find: \(2^{1+x}\), if \(3^{4x} = 81^{-1}\) and \(10^{1/y} = 0.0001\)

Solution

\[ 3^{4x} = 81^{-1} \]

\[ \Rightarrow 3^{4x} = (3^4)^{-1} \]

\[ \Rightarrow 3^{4x} = 3^{-4} \]

\[ \Rightarrow 4x = -4 \]

\[ \Rightarrow x = -1 \]

\[ 10^{1/y} = 0.0001 \]

\[ \Rightarrow 10^{1/y} = 10^{-4} \]

\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{y} = -4 \]

\[ \Rightarrow y = -\frac{1}{4} \]

\[ 2^{1+x} = 2^{1-1} \]

\[ = 2^0 \]

\[ = 1 \]

Final Answer:

\[ \boxed{1} \]
