the value of x in the equation log(x-1)9=2 is

The Value Of X In The Equation Logx192 Is class=

Sagot :

[tex]\log_{(x-1)} 9=2[/tex]

the domain:
[tex]x-1 >0 \ \land \ x-1 \not=1 \\ x>1 \ \land \ x \not= 2 \\ x \in (1; 2) \cup (2;+\infty)[/tex]

the equation:
[tex]\log_{(x-1)}9=2 \\ (x-1)^2=9 \\ \sqrt{(x-1)^2}=\sqrt{9} \\ |x-1|=3 \\ x-1=3 \ \lor \ x-1=-3 \\ x=4 \ \lor \ x=-2[/tex]

4 is in the domain
-2 is not in the domain

The answer:
[tex]x=4[/tex]

Also, the answer in 13 is {8}. -3 is not in the domain. Replace x with -3 and you'll see:
[tex]x=\sqrt{5x+24} \\ -3=\sqrt{5 \times (-3)+24} \\ -3=\sqrt{-15+24} \\ -3=\sqrt{9} \\ -3=3[/tex]
It's not true so -3 isn't a solution to this equation.
