Exponential and Log
Equations
i) Find the exact solution to the equation log 2x
+ log(x+1) = log(-6x+10)
ii) Use a calculator to find a 4 decimal approximation to the
answer.
| log(2x(x+1))= log(-6x+10) | Prepare the equation for the application of the
inverse log function by making the left side into the log of a single expression (i.e. apply the first law of logarithms.) |
| Show work. | Apply the inverse natural log function to both sides. |
