Question 22300: Can anyone help me solve this problem?
log (x^3 + 1) to the base of 3 - log (x+1) to the base of 3 = 1
I tried log to the base of 3 times (x^3 + 1)/(x+1) = 1
(x^3 + 1)/(x+1) = 3^1

Question 22964: HELP =) !
resolving the Question 2570 (p200 - 250) : log of 9 to the base square root of x - log of 3 to the base x = 9 + 6 log of x to the base square root of 3
a tutor found x = 3^(1/4) or x = 1/3
I only found one answer x = 3^(1/4)
Who is right ? And where is the (my?) flaw ?
Thanks a lot !!!
Here is my answer :
logV""x(9) - logx(3) = 9 + 6logV""3(x)
(logx 9) / (logx V""x) - logx 3 = 9 + 6( (logx x) / (logx V""3) )
(logx 9) / ( (logx x) / 2 ) - logx 3 = 9 + 6( 1 / ( (logx 3) / 2 ) )
(logx 9) / ( (logx x) / 2 ) - logx 3 = 9 + 6 / ( (logx 3) / 2 )
2logx 9 - logx 3 = 9 + 6 ( 2 / logx 3 )
2logx 9 - logx 3 = 9 + 12 / logx 3
logx 3 ( 2logx 9 - logx 3 - 9 ) = 12
logx 3 ( 4logx 3 - logx 3 - 9 ) = 12
logx 3 ( 3logx 3 - 9 ) = 12
3(logx 3)^2 - 9logx 3 = 12
(logx 3)^2 - 3logx 3 = 4
logx 3 - 3 = 4 / (logx 3)
logx 3 - 3 = 1/4 logx 3
logx 3 - 3 = logx 3^(1/4)
logx 3 - logx 3^(1/4) = 3
logx (3/3^(1/4) ) = 3
x^3 = 3/3^(1/4)
x^3 = 3^(3/4)
x^3 = 3^( (1/4) * 3 )
x^3 = ( 3^(1/4) )^3
x = 3^(1/4)

(logx 9) / ( (logx x) / 2 ) - logx 3 = 9 + 6( 1 / ( (logx 3) / 2 ) )
(logx 9) / ( (logx x) / 2 ) - logx 3 = 9 + 6 / ( (logx 3) / 2 )
2logx 9 - logx 3 = 9 + 6 ( 2 / logx 3 )
2logx 9 - logx 3 = 9 + 12 / logx 3
logx 3 ( 2logx 9 - logx 3 - 9 ) = 12
logx 3 ( 4logx 3 - logx 3 - 9 ) = 12
logx 3 ( 3logx 3 - 9 ) = 12
3(logx 3)^2 - 9logx 3 = 12
(logx 3)^2 - 3logx 3 = 4
logx 3 - 3 = 4 / (logx 3)
logx 3 - 3 = 1/4 logx 3
logx 3 - 3 = logx 3^(1/4)
logx 3 - logx 3^(1/4) = 3
logx (3/3^(1/4) ) = 3
x^3 = 3/3^(1/4)
x^3 = 3^(3/4)
x^3 = 3^( (1/4) * 3 )
x^3 = ( 3^(1/4) )^3
x = 3^(1/4)
