If \(6^A = 2\), \(6^B = 5\), and \(6^Q = 15\), then express Q in terms of A and/or B.
(A) 3B
(B) B + 3
(C) 5A + B
(D) \(B^2 - 2B\)
(E) B - A + 1

\(6^q = 15 = \frac{15 * 2}{2} = \frac{30}{2} = \frac{5 * 6}{2}\) .................. (1)
\(6^A = 2, 6^B = 5\)>> Placing these values in (1)
\(6^q = \frac{6^b * 6}{6^a}\)
\(6^q = 6^{(b+1-a)}\)
Bases are same; equating the powers
q = b+1-a
Answer = E

6^A=2 ----------------------1)
6^B=5 -----------------------2)
6^Q= 15 ---------------------3)
multiplying 1,2,3 together, we have
6^(A+B+Q)= 2*5*15
= 2*3*5^2
=6*5^2
from 2, we have 5^2= 6^2B
=6*6^2B
=6^2B+1
thus
A+B+Q=2B+1
Q=B-A+1
