Question 5851: I am unable to solve this problem. Kindly help.
Log10(x+y)/3 = 1/2(log10x + log10y) Now, prove that x/y + y/x = 7

Answer by longjonsilver(2297)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
before anyone can help, you need to explain a couple of things:

1. is the 10 the base of the log?
2. the "/3" is this contained within the log ie log((x+y)/3) or outside, as in (log(x+y))/3. Your notation does not make it clear.

cheers
Jon.
