Explanation:

(a)

81^𝑥 + 81^𝑓(𝑥) = 3

Let 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑦,

81^𝑥 + 81^𝑦 = 3

Or, 81^𝑥 = 3 − 81^𝑦

Now, 81^𝑥 will always be a positive number.

Means 81^𝑥 > 0

∴ 3 − 81^𝑦 > 0

⇒ 3 > 81^𝑦 

⇒ 3 > 3^4𝑦 

⇒ 1 > 4𝑦

(Property: If a is positive number & 𝑎^𝑥 > 𝑎^𝑦, then x > y)

⇒ 4𝑦 < 1

Or 𝑦 < 1/4.

∴ (−∞ 1/4 ) or, (−∞ 0.25)
