2log4x-log16=1
 
3lnx+lnx=4
 
3(x)=243
 
e(x+4)=48
 
)2log4x-log16=1 
  log[(4x)^2]-log(16) = 1 [using nlog(m) = log(m^n)] 
log(16x^2)-log(16) = 1 
log[(16x^2)/(16)] = 1    [using loga - log b = log(a/b) ] 
log(x^2)=1 
(x^2) = (10)^1   [using logb(N) = p implying N = (b)^p ] 
x^2 = 10 
x=+[sqrt(10)] 
Negative sqrt cannot hold here because when you use the negative value for x, you get into a situation where you  log(of a negative quantity) which is not defined.
 
2)3lnx+lnx=4 
log[(x)^3]+log(x)= 4  [using nlog(m) = log(m^n)] 
log[(x^3)X(x)]=4    [using loga + log b = log(ab)] 
log(x^4)=4 
x^4 = 10^4 
x=10          (powers equal imply bases equal)
 
3(x)=243 this simply implies x = 243/3 = (3X81)/3 = 81 
If the problem is 3log(x) =243 
which means log(x) = 243/3 = 81 
logx = 81 
gives x = (10)^81 (quite a BIG number!)
 
4)e(x+4)=48 
(x+4) = 48/e 
x = (48/e) -4 
This problem too may not be the correct original problem.
