Find the value of $x$, where $sqrt{(2+sqrt{3})^x} + sqrt{(2-sqrt{3})^x} = 2^x$?
Multi tool use
$$sqrt{(2+sqrt{3})^x} + sqrt{(2-sqrt{3})^x} = 2^x$$
I am not able to get to the result logically.
What I tried and got to this result
$$
LHS
= [(sqrt{3}+1)/sqrt{2}]^x +[(sqrt{3}-1)/sqrt{2}]^x
$$

2 is ONE solution. But that doesn't mean it is the only one.

if you square both parts, you get $(2-sqrt3)^x+(2+sqrt3)^x=2^{2x}-2$. It seems $2$ is the only solution

$$dfrac{2+sqrt3}4=left(dfrac{sqrt3+1}{2sqrt2}right)^2$$
$cos(45^circ-30^circ)=?$
$sin(45-30)=?$
Finally $sin^mA+cos^mA$ is a decreasing function for $0le Aledfracpi2$
