To solve this equation, we first need to simplify both sides by using the properties of logarithms.
Starting with the left side of the equation:
2log4(4-x) = log4((4-x)^2)2log4(4-x) = log4((16-8x+x^2))2log4(4-x) = log4(x^2 - 8x + 16)
Now, moving to the right side of the equation:
4-log2(-2-x) = log2((-2-x)^4)4-log2(-2-x) = log2((-2-x)^4)4-log2(-2-x) = log2((-2-x)^4)4-log2(-2-x) = log2((-16 - 8x + x^2))
Now we have simplified the equation to:
log4(x^2 - 8x + 16) = log2(x^2 - 8x - 16)
To solve for x, we set the expressions inside the logarithms equal to each other:
x^2 - 8x + 16 = x^2 - 8x - 16
Subtracting x^2 and adding 8x from both sides, we get:
32 = -32
This is a contradiction, so there are no solutions to this equation.
