Math Problem Statement

\log 2x^(3)+\log (6)/(x)=6.278

Solution

To solve the equation log(2x3)+log(6x)=6.278\log(2x^3) + \log\left(\frac{6}{x}\right) = 6.278, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Apply Logarithm Properties

Use the logarithm properties to simplify the expression:

  1. Product Property: log(a)+log(b)=log(ab)\log(a) + \log(b) = \log(ab)
  2. Quotient Property: log(ab)=log(a)log(b)\log\left(\frac{a}{b}\right) = \log(a) - \log(b)

The equation becomes: log((2x3)×6x)=6.278\log\left( (2x^3) \times \frac{6}{x} \right) = 6.278

Step 2: Simplify the Argument

Simplify the expression inside the logarithm: (2x3)×6x=12x2(2x^3) \times \frac{6}{x} = 12x^2

Now the equation is: log(12x2)=6.278\log(12x^2) = 6.278

Step 3: Remove the Logarithm

To remove the logarithm, rewrite the equation in its exponential form: 12x2=106.27812x^2 = 10^{6.278}

Step 4: Solve for xx

Calculate 106.27810^{6.278} and then solve for xx:

x2=106.27812x^2 = \frac{10^{6.278}}{12}

x=±106.27812x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{10^{6.278}}{12}}

Step 5: Numerical Calculation

Now, let's calculate the value:

106.2781901747.4110^{6.278} \approx 1901747.41 x2=1901747.4112158478.951x^2 = \frac{1901747.41}{12} \approx 158478.951 x=±158478.951±398.095x = \pm \sqrt{158478.951} \approx \pm 398.095

Final Answer:

x398.095orx398.095x \approx 398.095 \quad \text{or} \quad x \approx -398.095
