Question

Solve the following equations.

x3log3x23logx=100310

Open in App
Solution

x3log3x23logx=100(10)1/3
x3log3x23logx=102+1/3
Taking logarithm an both sides (base will be to)
(3log3x23logx)logx=73log10
3log4x28log2x=73
Say log2x=t
3t223t=73
9t22t=7
9t29t+7t7=0
9t(t1)+7(t1)=0
t=1 or t=7/9
log2x=1log2x=7/9
Now we know that the square of a quantity cannot be negative
the only solution is
logx=1
x=10
