Question 1 Report
Solve \(2^{(2y + 2)} - 9(2^{y}) = -2\).
Write everything in terms of \(u=2^{y}\). Note \(2^{2y+2}=2^{2}\cdot 2^{2y}=4(2^{y})^{2}=4u^{2}\).
The equation \(2^{2y+2}-9(2^{y})=-2\) becomes:
\[4u^{2}-9u+2=0\]
Factorising (or using the formula \(u=\frac{9\pm\sqrt{81-32}}{8}=\frac{9\pm 7}{8}\)):
\[(4u-1)(u-2)=0\Rightarrow u=\tfrac14\ \text{or}\ u=2\]
Since \(u=2^{y}\):
\[\boxed{y=1\ \text{or}\ y=-2}\]
