Solve the following logarithmic equation.
log(base5)(x+15)+log(base5)(x+134)=4
place under single log
log5[(x+15)(x+134)]=4
convert to exponential form
5^4=(x+15)(x+134)
625=x^2+149x+2010
x^2+149x+1385=0
solve for x by following quadratic formula:
a=1, b=149, c=1385
ans:
x≈-139.039 (reject,(x+15)>0)
or
x≈-9.961
