The sum of all the solutions of the equation $$(8)^{2x} - 16 \cdot (8)^x + 48 = 0$$ is :
Given: $$(8)^{2x} - 16 \cdot (8)^x + 48 = 0$$
Let $$y=8^x$$---(i);
Therefore, the equation can also be written as $$y^2-16y+48$$
Factorize the equation: $$\left(y-12\right)\left(y-4\right)$$
Hence, replace values of y in the equation, (i) we get $$4=8^{x\ }and\ 12=8^x$$
Now take the log with base 8 on both sides.
$$\therefore$$ $$x_1=\log_84$$ and $$x_2=\log_812$$
Sum of all solutions $$\Rightarrow$$ $$x_1+x_2=\log_8\left(12\right)\left(4\right)$$
It can be also written as $$\log_88+\log_{_8}6$$ $$\Rightarrow$$ $$1+\log_{_8}6$$
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
