Q. Solve for the exact value of x x .\newlinelog4(5x)+log4(7)=3 \log _{4}(5 x)+\log _{4}(7)=3 \newlineAnswer:
  1. Combine logarithmic terms: Apply the product rule of logarithms to combine the two logarithmic terms.\newlineThe product rule of logarithms states that logb(m)+logb(n)=logb(mn)\log_b(m) + \log_b(n) = \log_b(m\cdot n), where bb is the base of the logarithms.\newlineSo, log4(5x)+log4(7)\log_4(5x) + \log_4(7) becomes log4(5x7)\log_4(5x \cdot 7).\newlineCalculation: log4(5x7)=log4(35x)\log_4(5x \cdot 7) = \log_4(35x).
  2. Set equal and solve: Set the combined logarithm equal to 33 and solve for xx. We have log4(35x)=3\log_4(35x) = 3. To solve for xx, we need to rewrite the equation in exponential form. The exponential form is by=xb^y = x, where bb is the base, yy is the exponent, and xx is the result. So, 43=35x4^3 = 35x. Calculation: 43=644^3 = 64, so xx00.
  3. Divide and find x: Divide both sides of the equation by 3535 to solve for xx.\newlineCalculation: x=6435x = \frac{64}{35}.
