2024/038) Solve for x 81^{\sin ^2x} + 81^{\cos^2x} = 30

 we have 81^{\sin ^2x} + 81^{\cos^2x} = 30

Or 81^{\sin ^2x} + 81^{1-\sin^2x} = 30

or  81^{\sin ^2x} + \frac{81}{81^{\sin^2x}} = 30

Let  81^{\sin ^2x}=y

So we get y + \frac{81}{y}=30

or y^2-30y + 81=0

or (y-3)(y-27)=0

Or y=3 or y=27

y=3 mean  81^{\sin ^2x}=3 or sin^2x = \frac{1}{4} or sin^2x = \pm \frac{1}{2} or x= \pi \pm \frac{n\pi}{6}

y=27 mean  81^{\sin ^2x}=27 or sin^2x = \frac{3}{4} or sin^2x = \pm \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} or x=  \pi \pm \frac{n\pi}{3}

hence combining both we get x= \frac{n\pi}{2}\pm \frac{\pi}{6}
