i. Find an expression for y in terms of x, if
\n" ); document.write( "log 4 + log(x – 1) = 3log y
\n" ); document.write( "log(4(x-1)) = 3log(y)
\n" ); document.write( "log(y) = log(4x-4)/3
\n" ); document.write( "y = 10^((4x-4)/3)
\n" ); document.write( "=============================
\n" ); document.write( " ii. Solve the system of equations
\n" ); document.write( " log 4 + log(x – 1) = 3log y
\n" ); document.write( " 2y – x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "Sub for y
\n" ); document.write( "2*10^((4x-4)/3) – x = 3
\n" ); document.write( "-- No algebraic solution.
