Solve For X: LOG_4 (X+10)+LOG_4(X-2)=3 Solve For X: LOG_3 (X+5)-LOG_3(X-3)=2
Solution
9)log4(x+10) +log4(x-2) =3
by properties of logaritham log a +log b =log ab
log4(x+10)(x-2) =3
by properties of logaritham logb a =c => a=bc
(x+10)(x-2) =43
(x2+8x-20) =64
x2+8x-84=0
x2+14x-6x-84=0
(x+14)(x-6)=0
x=-14, x=6
x cannot be less than 2 as terms inside the logarithams becomes negative
so x=6 is the answer
10)
log3(x+5) -log3(x-3) =2
by properties of logaritham log a -log b =log a/b
log3(x+5)/(x-3) =2
by properties of logaritham logb a =c => a=bc
(x+5)/(x-3) =32
(x+5)/(x-3) =9
(x+5)=9(x-3)
x+5 =9x-27
9x -x =5+27
8x=32
x=4
