Let me help you break down and solve the problems in the image.

### 1. (a) Solve the logarithmic equations:
- \( \log(x+1) - \log x = \log(4x) \)
  
### Solution:
Using the property of logarithms:
\[
\log(a) - \log(b) = \log\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)
\]
We get:
\[
\log\left(\frac{x+1}{x}\right) = \log(4x)
\]
Since the logarithms on both sides are equal, we can equate the arguments:
\[
\frac{x+1}{x} = 4x
\]
Multiply both sides by \(x\):
\[
x+1 = 4x^2
\]
Rearrange:
\[
4x^2 - x - 1 = 0
\]
This is a quadratic equation. Solve using the quadratic formula:
\[
x = \frac{-(-1) \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4(4)(-1)}}{2(4)} = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1+16}}{8} = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{17}}{8}
\]
The solutions are:
\[
x = \frac{1 + \sqrt{17}}{8} \quad \text{or} \quad x = \frac{1 - \sqrt{17}}{8}
\]
Since logarithms require positive values, discard the negative solution.

Thus, \(x = \frac{1 + \sqrt{17}}{8}\).

### 1. (b) Solve the logarithmic equation:
\[
3\log x + \log 64 = 11
\]

### Solution:
First, combine the logarithms using the logarithmic property:
\[
3\log x = \log x^3
\]
Now the equation becomes:
\[
\log x^3 + \log 64 = 11
\]
Using the property \( \log a + \log b = \log(ab) \):
\[
\log(64x^3) = 11
\]
Convert the logarithmic equation to exponential form:
\[
64x^3 = 10^{11}
\]
Divide both sides by 64:
\[
x^3 = \frac{10^{11}}{64}
\]
Take the cube root of both sides:
\[
x = \sqrt[3]{\frac{10^{11}}{64}}
\]

### 2. (a) Solve the system of simultaneous equations:
\[
\begin{aligned}
    3Q_1 - 2Q_2 + 2Q_3 &= -1 \\
    Q_1 + Q_2 + Q_3 &= 8 \\
    2Q_1 + 3Q_2 - 4Q_3 &= 12
\end{aligned}
\]

### Solution:
This system of equations can be solved using the **elimination method**. We will start by manipulating the equations to eliminate one variable.

Step 1: Multiply the second equation by 2 and subtract from the first equation to eliminate \(Q_1\).

After solving these steps, you'll arrive at the values for \(Q_1\), \(Q_2\), and \(Q_3\).

### 3. (a) Prove the identities:

#### (i) Prove \( \frac{\cos \theta}{1 + \sin \theta} = \sec \theta - \tan \theta \)

#### (ii) Prove \( \cos(x + 90^\circ) + \cos(x - 90^\circ) = -2\sin x \)

Both of these identities can be proved using trigonometric identities such as:
- \( \cos(x + 90^\circ) = -\sin x \)
- \( \cos(x - 90^\circ) = \sin x \)
