Math Problem Statement
2e
Solution
Let's solve each of the logarithmic equations provided in the image.
a.
Using the logarithm product rule: , we can combine the logarithms:
This means:
So, .
c.
Subtract from both sides:
Using the logarithm quotient rule: :
This implies:
Cross-multiplying:
Expanding and solving for :
So, .
e.
Using the logarithm quotient rule again:
This implies:
Cross-multiplying:
Expanding and solving for :
So, .
Would you like more details on any of these solutions, or do you have any further questions?
Here are five related questions to deepen your understanding:
- What is the logarithm change of base formula and how can it be applied to solve logarithmic equations?
- How can you verify the solutions of logarithmic equations by substituting them back into the original equation?
- How would the equations change if the logarithm bases were different in each problem?
- What are the restrictions on the domain of the logarithmic functions in these equations?
- How can logarithmic identities be used to simplify more complex logarithmic expressions?
Tip: When solving logarithmic equations, always check that the solutions fall within the domain of the logarithmic functions involved.
