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.

Hi there!  

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:  

(-3, -1) and (1, 3)

»»————- ★ ————-««  

Here’s why:  

  • I have graphed the two equations given on a graphing program.
  • When graphed, they pass at points (-3, -1) and (1,3). Therefore, they are the solutions to the system.
