Question

i need help solving logarithmic equations

Answer 1

\[\log_{5} 4-\log_{5} 3r=3\log_{5} 2\]

Answer 2

you want to find r? ^_^

Answer 3

yes.

Answer 4

but i need step by step help so i can understand it.

Answer 5

Alright, here we go :) :\[-\log_{5}3r = \log_{5}2^3 - \log_{5}4 \]\[\log_{5}3r = -\log_{5}2^3 +\log_{5}4 \]\[\log_{5}3r = \log_{5}(8.4) \]\[\log_{5}3r = \log_{5}32 \]\[\log_{5}3r = 2.15 \rightarrow 3r = 5^{2.15} \rightarrow r = \frac{5^{2.15}}{3} \approx10.6 \]


correct me if I'm wrong please ^_^

Answer 6

i'm not sure if it's right or wrong. that's my problem. i have no knowledge on this at all.

Answer 7

hmm , alright the basic rules :

\[\log_{b}n + \log_{b}k = \log_{b}(n + k) \]
\[ \log_{b}n -\log_{b}k = \log_{b}(\frac{n}{k})\]

I think I've done a silly mistake lol , hold on :)

Answer 8

Use the properties of logerithms:
\[\log _{5}4-\log _{5}3r=\log _{5}[4/(3r)]\]
Also
\[3\log _{5}2=3\log _{5}2^3=3\log _{5}8\]

\[\log _{5} [4/(3r)]=\log _{5}8\]
4/3r=8

So r=1/6

Answer 9

=// after the Also ignore the 3s after the equal signs

Answer 10

this step :\[\log_{5} 3r = \log_{5}4 - \log_{5} 8\]
must be :
\[\log_{5}3r = \log_{5} \frac{4}{8}\]

Answer 11

you can take it up from here, right? :) I think xav's answer is correct since I did a silly mistake lol, sorry ^_^"

Answer 12

r=1/6

Answer 13

Thats correct

Answer 14

Thank you so much :)

Answer 15

alright , so xav's + iam's answer = correct dear ^_^, did you understand the concept now?

Answer 16

alright , so xav's + iam's answer = correct dear ^_^, did you understand the concept now?

Answer 18

Yes i did. I have plenty more problems i need help with. Can anyone be patient with me and help me through all of them ? :)

Answer 19

what are your problems?

Answer 20

What are your problems?

Answer 21

\[\log_{2} 4-\log_{2} (x+3)-\log_{2} 8\]

Answer 22

What do you want to do with this

Answer 23

Simplify ?

Answer 24

I guess solve for x

Answer 25

Wait... >_<

Answer 26

Where is the =

Answer 27

No. all the problems i'm posting are solving each equation.

Answer 28

Where is the =

Answer 29

oh wait i see what you saying the = is supposed to be after (x+3)

Answer 30

okay

Answer 31

\[2-log2(x+3)=3\]

Answer 32

Where 2 is at the base

Answer 33

yes 2 is the base.

Answer 34

But that leads to no solution

Answer 35

So instead if we use

Answer 36

\[\log_{2} 4-\log_{2} 8=\log_{2} (x+3)\]

Answer 37

We can write
(4/8)=x+3

Answer 38

The rest you can do
