Hi, 2logac+logbc= 9logabc21logca+1logcb= 9logcabmultiply by logcb both side2logcblogca+logcblogcb= 9logcblogcab2logab+1=9logcablogcb2logab+1=9logbab= 9logba+logbb2logab+1=9logba+1=91logab+1let t = logab2t+2= 9t1+t2t+2t2+2+2t= 9t2t2-5t+2 = 0 2t2-4t-t+2 = 0 2tt-2-1t-2=0 2t-1t-2=0 t = 12, 2 so logab=12, 2 so maximum value is 2
