SOLVING LOGARITHMIC AND INDICES PROBLEM
![Page 2: SOLVING LOGARITHMIC AND INDICES PROBLEM. Solving equation in the form of a x = a y Example: 3 2x = 27 = 3 3 By comparing index: 2x = 3 If a x = a y then.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022072010/56649dab5503460f94a99c86/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Solving equation in the form of ax = ay
Example:
32x = 27 = 33
By comparing index:
2x = 3
If ax = ay then x = y
23x

Examples
8x+1 = 4x+3
(23)x+1 = (22)x+3
23x+3 = 22x+6
By comparing index: 3x + 3 = 2x + 6 3x – 2x = 6 – 3 x = 3

9x. 3x1 = 243
32x. 3x1 = 35
32x + (x 1) = 35
33x1 = 35
By comparing index, 3x – 1 = 5 3x = 6 x = 2

SOLVE 2X + 2X+3 = 32
See the right way ---->
A very different example. 2X + 2X+3 = 25
x + x + 3 = 5 2x = 2 x = 1WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!The solution above is WRONG!!!

2x + 2x 23 = 32Factorize 2x
2X(1 + 23) = 322X (9)= 322X = 32/9X lg 2 = lg 32 – lg 9X (0.3010)= 1.5051-0.9542
X=1.8302
SOLVE 2X + 2X+3 = 32

INDEX EQUATION WITH DIFFERENT BASEIf we cannot express both sides of the equation with the same base, we solve the equation by taking logarithms on both
sides.
Example
5 x = 6Taking logarithms on both sides.
log10 5 x = log10 6
x log10 5 = log10 6
x (0.6990) = 0.7782 x = 0.7782 0.6690 x = 1.113
Solving equation in the form of ax = b,where a ≠-1, 0 , 1

Example: Solve 5x – 3x+1 = 0Solution:
5x – 3x+1 = 0 5x = 3x+1
Taking logarithms on both sides,
lg 5x = lg 3x+1
x lg 5 = (x + 1) lg 3
x lg 5 = x lg 3 + lg 3
x lg 5 – x lg 3= lg 3
x(lg 5 – lg 3)= lg 3
x(0.6990 – 0.4771) = 0.4771
x = 2.150

Solving Logarithmic EquationSolve log5 (5x – 4) = 2 log5 3 + log5 4
First, simplify the right hand side.
log5 (5x – 4) = log5 3
log5 = log5
Comparing number in both sides.
log5 log5
5x = 40
x = 8
(5x – 4 ) (36)
2 + 4log
55
(5x – 4) == (36)

Solve the equation log5 x = 4 logx 5
Solution:
log5 x = 4
log5 x. log5 x = 4
(log5 x)2 = 4
log5 x = 2 or -2
x = 52 or 5 2
xlog15
(Change base from x to 5)
