Q. Solve for the exact value of x.log3(6x)+log3(2)=3Answer:
Combine Logarithms: Combine the logarithms using the product rule.The product rule of logarithms states that logb(m)+logb(n)=logb(m∗n). Let's apply this rule to combine the two logarithms on the left side of the equation.log3(6x)+log3(2)=log3(6x⋅2)Simplify the product inside the logarithm.log3(12x)=3
Simplify Product: Convert the logarithmic equation to an exponential equation.The definition of a logarithm states that if logb(a)=c, then bc=a. We will use this definition to rewrite the equation in exponential form.33=12xCalculate the value of 33.27=12x
Convert to Exponential: Solve for x.To find the value of x, divide both sides of the equation by 12.1227=xSimplify the fraction.x=1227x=49x=2.25
