What are the potential solutions of log4x+log4(x+6)=2?

lions [1.4K]

The potential solutions of $log_4x+log_4(x+6)=2$ are 2 and -8.

<h3>Properties of Logarithms</h3>

From the properties of logarithms, you can rewrite logarithmic expressions.

The main properties are:

Product Rule for Logarithms - $log_{b}(a*c)=log_{b}a+log_{b}c$
Quotient Rule for Logarithms - $log_{b}(\frac{a}{c} )=log_{b}a-log_{b}c$
Power Rule for Logarithms - $log_{b}(a^c)=c*log_{b}a$

The exercise asks the potential solutions for $log_4x+log_4(x+6)=2$ . In this expression you can apply the Product Rule for Logarithms.

$log_4x+log_4(x+6)=2\\ \\ x*(x+6)=4^2\\ \\ x^2+6x=16\\ \\ x^2+6x-16=0$

Now you should solve the quadratic equation.

Δ= $b^2-4ac=36-4*1*(-16)=36+64=100$ . Thus, x will be $x_{1,\:2}=\frac{-6\pm \:\sqrt{100} }{2\cdot \:1}=\frac{-6\pm \:10}{2}$ . Then:

$x_1=\frac{-6+10}{2}=\frac{4}{2} =2\\ \\ \:x_2=\frac{-6-10}{2}=\frac{-16}{2} =-8$

The potential solutions are 2 and -8.

Help needed on this composition math problem

Marrrta [24]

Given that f(x) = x/(x - 3) and g(x) = 1/x and the application of <em>function</em> operators, f ° g (x) = 1/(1 - 3 · x) and the domain of the <em>resulting</em> function is any <em>real</em> number except x = 1/3.

<h3>How to analyze a composed function</h3>

Let be f and g functions. Composition is a <em>binary function</em> operation where the <em>variable</em> of the <em>former</em> function (f) is substituted by the <em>latter</em> function (g). If we know that f(x) = x/(x - 3) and g(x) = 1/x, then the <em>composed</em> function is:

$f\,\circ\,g \,(x) = \frac{\frac{1}{x} }{\frac{1}{x}-3}$

$f\,\circ\,g\,(x) = \frac{\frac{1}{x} }{\frac{1-3\cdot x}{x} }$

$f\,\circ\,g\,(x) = \frac{1}{1-3\cdot x}$

The domain of the function is the set of x-values such that f ° g (x) exists. In the case of <em>rational</em> functions of the form p(x)/q(x), the domain is the set of x-values such that q(x) ≠ 0. Thus, the domain of f ° g (x) is $\mathbb{R} - \{\frac{1}{3} \}$ .
