Solve the exponential equation e3 5x 16 Solve the logarith
Solution
1. solution:
e(3 - 5x) = 16
=> applying logarithm on both sides,
=> log e(3 - 5x) = log 16
As per the rule, log e(x) = x , so log e(3 - 5x) = 3 - 5x
and => log 16 = log 24 as per rule , log 2 x = x log2
=> = 4 log 2
and as per change of base rule 4*log 22 = 4* log2 / log 2 = 4
=> log e(3 - 5x) = log 16
=> 3 - 5x = 4
=> 3 = 5x + 4
=> 5x = 3 - 4
=> 5x = -1
=> x = -1/5
2) solution:
=> log 9 (x - 5) + log 9 (x + 3) = 1
=> As per rule of addition of logarithms for same base, logax + log b x = log (ab)x
=> so left hand side will be converted based on addition of logarithms as the base is 9
=> log 9[(x - 5)(x + 3)] = 1
=> as per change of base rule log a b = log a/ log b
=> log 2[(x - 5)(x + 3)] / log 2(9) = 1 [ after change of base rule, considering for all common base is 2)
=> log 2[(x - 5)(x + 3)] / log 2(3 ^ 2) = 1
=> log 2[(x - 5)(x + 3)] = log 2 (9)
as per logarithmic equality rule , if log 2 a = log 2 b then a = b.
=> so (x - 5)(x + 3) = 9
=> x2 - 2x - 15 = 9
=> x2 - 2x - 15 - 9 = 0
=> x2 - 2x - 24 = 0
=> x2 - 6x - 4x - 24 = 0
=> x (x - 6) - 4 (x - 6) = 0
=> (x - 6) ( x - 4) = 0
=> (x - 6) = 0 and (x - 4) = 0
=> x = 6 , x = 4
3). Solution:
=> log 5(3 x^2 / y^3 )
=> as per rule, log x(a/b) = log xa - log x b
=> log 5(3 x^2) - log 5 (y^3)
=> as per rule, log x(ab) = log xa + log x b
=> log 53 + log 5(x^2) - log 5 (y^3)
=> as per rule, log 5 (a^x) = x log 5 a
=> log 53 + 2 log 5 x - 3 log 5 (y)
=> as per rule, log ba = log xa / log xb
=> (log 3 / log 5 ) + 2 (log x / log 5) - 3(log y / log 5)
=> (log 3 + 2 log x - 3 log y) / log 5
4). Solution:
=> 4 log x - (1/3) log (x2 + 1) + 2 log (x - 1)
=> as per rule, a log x = log xa
=> log x4 - log (x2 + 1) (1/3) + log (x - 1)2
=> as per logarithmic addition rule, log a + log b = log (ab)
=> log x4 - log [(x2 + 1) (1/3) (x - 1)2]
=> as per logerithmic subtraction rule, log a - log b = log (a/b)
=> log [x4 / ((x2 + 1) (1/3) (x - 1)2) ]
