Express in single log and find the solutions for...

OpenStudy (suwhitney):

\[\log_{3}x +\log_{3} (x+3)=3+\log_{500} 1\] Please help :/ Thank you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wat's so tough? it's easy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

log(x)(x+3) base 2 = log500^3 base 500 + log(1) base 500........ can u take it from here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hint, \(\log_b(1)=0\) because \(b^0=1\) ignore that part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in other words, start with \[\log_{3}x +\log_{3} (x+3)=3\] then combine the left in to a single log, get \[\log_3(x(x+3))=3\] rewrite in equivalent exponential form as \[x(x+3)=3^3\] solve a nice quadratic equation

OpenStudy (suwhitney):

I understand how to get the \[\log_{3}(x(x+3))=3 \] part, but how do you get \[x(x+3)=3^3\] afterwards?

OpenStudy (suwhitney):

And @A.Avinash_Goutham obviously I need help, otherwise I wouldnt be here. You dont have to be rude..

OpenStudy (anonymous):
