To solve the given equation, we can apply the properties of logarithms. Let's solve step by step:
Since the bases of the logarithms are the same, we can set the arguments equal to each other:
3x - 5 = x^2 - 3
Rearranging the equation gives us a quadratic equation:
x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0
Applying the power rule of logarithms, we get:
x^2 - 3x = 2^2
x^2 - 3x = 4
Using the product rule of logarithms, we simplify to:
log 2x(x-3) = 2
Taking antilogarithm on both sides:
2x(x-3) = 2^2
2x^2 - 6x = 4
This equation can be rewritten as:
log(x^2) - 2log(x) - 3 = 0
2log(x) - log(x^2) = 3
log(x^2) - log(x^2) = 3
0 = 3
Therefore, the given equation does not have a solution as the last step leads to an erroneous statement.
To solve the given equation, we can apply the properties of logarithms. Let's solve step by step:
Log 1/2 (3x - 5) = log 1/2 (x^2 - 3)Since the bases of the logarithms are the same, we can set the arguments equal to each other:
3x - 5 = x^2 - 3
Rearranging the equation gives us a quadratic equation:
x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0
Log 2 (x^2 - 3x) = 2Applying the power rule of logarithms, we get:
x^2 - 3x = 2^2
x^2 - 3x = 4
Log 2x + log 2 (x-3) = 2Using the product rule of logarithms, we simplify to:
log 2x(x-3) = 2
Taking antilogarithm on both sides:
2x(x-3) = 2^2
2x^2 - 6x = 4
lg(x^2) - 2lg(x) - 3 = 0This equation can be rewritten as:
log(x^2) - 2log(x) - 3 = 0
2log(x) - log(x^2) = 3
log(x^2) - log(x^2) = 3
0 = 3
Therefore, the given equation does not have a solution as the last step leads to an erroneous statement.
