Logarithm Problem!!! Pls Help, Medal and a hearty thanks involved!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[1. (x+1)^{\log(x+1)}=100(x+1) .Solve for x.\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For 0<x<1,the value of \[\log(1+x)+\log(1+x^2)+\log(1+x^4)..............\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

till infinity is??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 Questions!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn

hartnn (hartnn):

take log on both sides of the equation, for 1st

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x+1)^{\log(x+1)}=100(x+1).\] \[\log(x+1)^{\log(x+1)}=\log(100(x+1) )\] \[\log(x+1)\log(x+1)=\log(100(x+1) )\] \[\log(2x+2)=\log(100(x+1))\] \[(2x+2)=(100(x+1))=>2x+2=100x+100=>x=?\] Umm I am wrong somewhere dunno where

hartnn (hartnn):

log A * log A = (log A)^2 not log 2A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops yeah thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log(x+1)^{\log(x+1)}=\log(100)+\log(x+1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x+1)^2=(100(x+1) )\] x=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then??

hartnn (hartnn):

use the rule for left, log A^B = B log A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log(x+1)\log(x+1)=2+\log(x+1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then??

hartnn (hartnn):

yes now pretend that log (x+1) = y so you have a quadratic in y right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

O_o

hartnn (hartnn):

are you sure the log has base 10 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yeah rt..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idunno

hartnn (hartnn):

like y^2 = 2+y isn't it ? can u solve this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do we need to take base 10 ...cant we take whatever base is there in the question??

hartnn (hartnn):

what the base in the question ?? and i think its log to base 10 only. go on with it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes\...;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get it now.......So then solve for y and substitute back the values,eh??

hartnn (hartnn):

solving this y^2 = 2+y is easy, you can even eyeball it :)

hartnn (hartnn):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=1 or -2

hartnn (hartnn):

you reversed the signs :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

hartnn (hartnn):

-1 and 2 isn't it ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y^2-y-2=0

hartnn (hartnn):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oopsie ..I meant y-2 and y+1

hartnn (hartnn):

then you're correct so values of y are ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

gotcha

hartnn (hartnn):

good, don't forget to verify your answer, when u get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get it.........Thanks a lot @hartnn and @INeedHelpPlease?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now the second one???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

getting it??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@skullpatrol @nincompoop @lncognlto @robtobey @shamil98

hartnn (hartnn):

first apply log A + log B = log AB rule then take x+1 as (x+1)(x-1) /(x-1) and go on combining terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hint: \[\log(1+x)+\log(1+x^2)+\log(1+x^4)..............\times \frac{1-x}{1-x}\] \[\log(1+x) \times \frac{1-x}{1-x}+\log(1+x^2) \times \frac{1-x}{1-x}+\log(1+x^4) \times \frac{1-x}{1-x}..............\]

hartnn (hartnn):

using the formula (a+b)(a-b) = a^2-b^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

marja :/^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does that mean??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Marja??

hartnn (hartnn):

he wants me to die :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah a mathematical term..just like log

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@INeedHelpPlease? I am sorry........ur equation is not getting displayed due to errors in the website!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

refresh

hartnn (hartnn):

here, take a medal from me for your atempt and be happy forever :P :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still nothing.-_-

hartnn (hartnn):

did u apply log A + log B rule ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\[\log(1+x)+\log(1+x^2)+\log(1+x^4)..............\times \frac{1-x}{1-x}\]\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log(1+x)(1+x^2)(1+x^4)..............\times \frac{1-x}{1-x}\]

hartnn (hartnn):

now that is correct ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is what is displayed........do u mean this @INeedHelpPlease? ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are u sure??

hartnn (hartnn):

only look at the response above my last comment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this one has options log(1-x) logx -log(1-x) -logx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c

hartnn (hartnn):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how is it c??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOOK at the attached file @cambrige

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I saw it.........\[\log{(1-x)/(1-x)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how to proceed after that??

hartnn (hartnn):

wot ? no (1+x) (1-x)/ (1-x) = (1-x^2)/ (1-x) so, (1-x^2)(1+x^2)/(1-x) = (1-x^4)/(1-x) getting this ?

hartnn (hartnn):

to make it simple , you can keep that 1-x in the denomonator aside, (1+x) (1-x) (1+x^2) (..).. = (1-x^2) (1+x^2) (..).. =(1-x^4 )(1+x^4) ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ur attachment states that the answer to the series is (1-x)/(1-x).r8???

hartnn (hartnn):

no....... thats just the first step to solve :P multiplying and dividing by 1-x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Frankly speaking.M really not getting u!!:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay ....now gtin
