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

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

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

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\...;)

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???
