(9) Solve the logarithmic equation log11 (z + 1) = log11 (z-1)-log11 (z + 5)Solution
log11(x+1) = log11(x-1) -log11(x+5)
Use the log property: logA - logB = log(A/B)
log11(x+1) = log11(x-1)/(x+5)
Equate the arguments on both sides:
x+1 = (x-1)/(x+5)
(x+1)(x+5) = (x-1)
x^2 +6x +5 = x-1
x^2 +5x +6 =0
Factorise: x^2 +3x +2x +6 =0
x(x+3) +2(x+3) =0
(x+2)(x+3) =0
x=-2 ; x=-3
Solution : x = -3 ,-2-
