\[\log_{4} x=1+\log_{2} 2x, x>0\]
OpenStudy (goldrush18):
i guess we must solve for x
OpenStudy (goldrush18):
@experimentX do u understand?
OpenStudy (experimentx):
yeah ... solve for x.
OpenStudy (experimentx):
use this property of log
\[ \log_a b = \frac{\log_kb}{\log_k a}\]

i still dont get it sorry
OpenStudy (experimentx):
sorry ... error there
\[ \log_4x = \frac{\log_2k}{\log_24} = \frac{\log_2k}{2} \]
OpenStudy (experimentx):
Oops ... error again, that k is supposed to be x
OpenStudy (experimentx):
if you know other few properties of log then it's should be easy for you!!
OpenStudy (experimentx):
\[ \frac{\log_2x}{2} = \log_22 + \log_22x\]
\[ \implies \log_2x = 2\log_22 + 2\log_22x \]
\[ \implies \log_2x = \log_22^2 + \log_2(2x)^2 \]
\[ \implies \log_2x = \log_2(2^2*(2x)^2) \]
\[ \implies x = 2^2*(2x)^2 \]

\[ \implies x = \frac{1}{16} \]
OpenStudy (goldrush18):
@experimentX thanks
OpenStudy (experimentx):
yw ... though not sure about answer!! check on wolframalpha!!
OpenStudy (goldrush18):
its correct
OpenStudy (goldrush18):
because these are past papers they tell us the answer but they dont show us how to get it
