Capitolo 5, Problema 87
Solve each logarithmic equation in Exercises 49–92. Be sure to reject any value of x that is not in the domain of the original logarithmic expressions. Give the exact answer. Then, where necessary, use a calculator to obtain a decimal approximation, correct to two decimal places, for the solution. log x+log(x+3)=log 10
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall the logarithmic property that states \( \log a + \log b = \log (a \times b) \). Use this to combine the left side of the equation: \( \log x + \log (x+3) = \log [x(x+3)] \).
Rewrite the equation using the combined logarithm: \( \log [x(x+3)] = \log 10 \).
Since the logarithms are equal and have the same base, set their arguments equal: \( x(x+3) = 10 \).
Expand and rewrite the equation as a quadratic: \( x^2 + 3x = 10 \), then bring all terms to one side to get \( x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0 \).
Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula or factoring, then check each solution to ensure it makes the arguments of the original logarithms positive (i.e., \( x > 0 \) and \( x+3 > 0 \)) to determine valid solutions.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Properties of Logarithms
Understanding the properties of logarithms, especially the product rule, is essential. The product rule states that log(a) + log(b) = log(ab), which allows combining multiple logarithmic terms into a single logarithm, simplifying the equation for easier solving.

Domain of Logarithmic Functions
The domain of a logarithmic function includes only positive real numbers. When solving logarithmic equations, it is crucial to check that the solutions do not make any argument of the logarithm zero or negative, as these values are not valid in the original equation.

Solving Logarithmic Equations
After applying logarithmic properties, the equation often reduces to an algebraic form. Solving this algebraic equation involves isolating the variable and finding exact solutions, which can then be approximated using a calculator if needed.
