Question 106297: 1. Solve the equation: logbase4(x-5) = 0.5 – logbase4(1-x).
i follow through with the problem and get four different answers but none of them check out when they are plugged into "X". Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Take a step back.
It's tempting to just apply to rules and look for a solution.
For the problem to have a solution, both log arguments (x-5) and (1-x) must be greater than zero
1.
2.
From 1., we get
From 2., we get
You cannot satisfy both condition since there is no x such that and .
No solution.
