HELP ME PLEASE (I WOULD TYPE THE QUESTION SHORTLY)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge IF a ^{2} -12ab +4b ^{2}=0\] Prove that \[\huge \log(a+2b)=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }(loga +logb) +2\log2\]

I'm not good at math man Sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO PROBLEM

thinking :3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am too :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will be back wait!

\[\huge IF =if\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

"IF" may not be clear

zepdrix (zepdrix):

If you apply some log rules, you can simplify the right side to this. \[\Large\rm \log(a+2b)= \log 4\sqrt{ab}\] Then exponentiating each side gives us:\[\Large\rm a+2b=4\sqrt{ab}\]And then square each side and you'll get the quadratic that we started with. I guess the only problem is that we want to prove the log equation. So we should start with the quadratic and do all of those steps in reverse.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got it!

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Understand what I'm saying? Lemme finish up those steps in case there is any confusion. Squaring each side,\[\Large\rm a^2+4ab+4b^2=16ab\]Subtracting 16ab from each side gives us:\[\Large\rm a^2-12ab+4b^2=0\]And then do all of those steps in reverse to prove the log equation. Start by writing -12 as -16 and 4... etc. Got it? :) cool.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah yeah (a+2b)^2=16ab after expand this stuff we get that quadratic \[thank you \]
