Why does a logarithmic equation sometimes have an extraneous solution?

Mathematics
2 answers:
jonny [76]2 years ago
6 0

The main reason behind this is using properties of logarithm .

like

when solving

  • log_2(x+2)+log_2(x-3)=3

There you use multiplication property and make addition to multiplication then you get extraneous solution because in plenty of cases they occur

like

  • (-2)²=(2)²

But

  • -2≠2

Same happens in case of logarithm

In a company, 37% of 1500 employees are females.work out the number of males in the company.
a_sh-v [17]
Formula:

y = p\% \times x
p = 37\% \div 100 = 0.37
y = 0.37 \times 1500 = 555
so there are 555 woman working.
1500 - 555 = 945
there are 945 men working

Find the value of x in 4:x::x:16
AnnyKZ [126]

Given:

4:x::x:16

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We have,

4:x::x:16

It means, we have

4:x = x:16

It can be rewritten as

\dfrac{4}{x}=\dfrac{x}{16}

On cross multiplication, we get

4\times 16=x\times x

64=x^2

Taking square root on both sides.

\pm \sqrt{64}=x

\pm 8=x

Since ratio can be negative or positive, therefore, the value of x is either -8 or 8.

Use the figure above to solve for x
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

x is equal to 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the two horizontal lines are parallel, we know that the angles at which they intersect the diagonal line will be identical.

We also know that on either side of the diagonal line, the sum of the angles between that and either of the horizontal lines will be 180.

In short, we know that the two values given have a sum of 180.  With that we can quickly solve for x:

(x + 67) + (x + 127) = 180

2x + 194 = 180

2x = -14

x = 7
