Solve for n over the real numbers:

2^(3 n+2) (2^n)^n = 1

Take the natural logarithm of both sides and use the identities log(a b) = log(a)+log(b) and log(a^b) = b log(a):

log(2) n^2+log(2) (3 n+2) = 0

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

log(2) n^2+3 log(2) n+2 log(2) = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:

log(2) (n+1) (n+2) = 0

Divide both sides by log(2):

(n+1) (n+2) = 0

Split into two equations:

n+1 = 0 or n+2 = 0

Subtract 1 from both sides:

n = -1 or n+2 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Answer: |n = -1 or n = -2
