How do you solve logx minus 3 plus log 4 equals log x?
Use the identity log(ab) = log a + log b to combine the logarithms on the left side into a single term. Then take antilogarithms (just take the log away) on both sides.
How do you solve log x3?
You can't solve this since it isn't an equation.There is also an ambiguity (it's hard to write math on a typewriter keyboard) - are we talking about log(x3) or maybe logx(3)?Restate the question: Simplify log(x3)Answer: 3log(x)You could explain this by saying: log(x3) = log[(x)(x)(x)] = logx + logx + logx = 3logx. The general rule is log(xn) = nlogx.
How do you solve log basex 3 equals log7?
logx(3) = log10(7) (assumed the common logarithm (base 10) for "log7") x^(logx(3)) = x^(log10(7)) 3 = x^(log10(7)) log10(3) = log10(x^(log10(7))) log10(3) = log10(7)log10(x) (log10(3)/log10(7)) = log10(x) 10^(log10(3)/log10(7)) = x
How do you sole X when logx-3 plus logx-2 equals log2x plus 24?
We can't see the parentheses, and there are at least two ways to read this.Here are solutions for the most likely two:--------------------------------------------------------log(x) - 3 + log(x) - 2 = log(2x) + 24Add 5 to each side:log(x) + log(x) = log(2x) + 29Subtract log(2x) from each side:log(x) + log(x) - log(2x) = 29Combine the logs on the left side, and massage:log( x2/2x ) = log( x/2 ) = 29Take the antilog of each side:x/2 = 1029Multiply each side by 2:x = 2 x 1029------------------------------------------------log(x - 3) + log(x - 2) = log(2x + 24)Combine logs on the left side:log[ (x-3) (x-2) ] = log(2x + 24)Take antilog of each side:(x-3) (x-2) = 2x + 24Expand the left side:x2 - 5x +6 = 2x + 24Subtract (2x+24) from each side:x2 - 7x - 18 = 0Factor:(x - 9) (x + 2) = 0Whence:x = 9x = -2We have to discard the solution [ x = -2 ] because one term in the equationis log(x-2).If 'x' were -2 then we'd have log(-4) but negative numbers don't have logs.
What is the pH of a solution with a H plus equals 1.4 x 10-3 M?
-Log(1.4x10-3)= 2.85 The Log to be used here is the decimal one, not the neperian one.
