The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \log_{x^2} 16 + \log_{2x} 64 = 3 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the logarithms in terms of base 2 We know that: - \( 16 = 2^4 \) - \( 64 = 2^6 \) Thus, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ \log_{x^2} (2^4) + \log_{2x} (2^6) = 3 \] ### Step 2: Apply the logarithmic property Using the property \( \log_b (a^n) = n \cdot \log_b (a) \), we can simplify: \[ 4 \cdot \log_{x^2} 2 + 6 \cdot \log_{2x} 2 = 3 \] ### Step 3: Use the change of base formula We can use the change of base formula \( \log_a b = \frac{\log_c b}{\log_c a} \). Therefore: \[ \log_{x^2} 2 = \frac{\log_2 2}{\log_2 (x^2)} = \frac{1}{2 \log_2 x} \] and \[ \log_{2x} 2 = \frac{\log_2 2}{\log_2 (2x)} = \frac{1}{\log_2 (2) + \log_2 (x)} = \frac{1}{1 + \log_2 x} \] ### Step 4: Substitute back into the equation Substituting these into our equation gives: \[ 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2 \log_2 x} + 6 \cdot \frac{1}{1 + \log_2 x} = 3 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{2}{\log_2 x} + \frac{6}{1 + \log_2 x} = 3 \] ### Step 5: Let \( a = \log_2 x \) Let \( a = \log_2 x \). Then the equation becomes: \[ \frac{2}{a} + \frac{6}{1 + a} = 3 \] ### Step 6: Clear the fractions Multiply through by \( a(1 + a) \) to eliminate the denominators: \[ 2(1 + a) + 6a = 3a(1 + a) \] Expanding both sides gives: \[ 2 + 2a + 6a = 3a + 3a^2 \] which simplifies to: \[ 2 + 8a = 3a + 3a^2 \] ### Step 7: Rearrange the equation Rearranging gives: \[ 3a^2 - 5a - 2 = 0 \] ### Step 8: Factor or use the quadratic formula Now we can factor or use the quadratic formula to solve for \( a \): \[ (3a + 1)(a - 2) = 0 \] This gives us: \[ a = -\frac{1}{3} \quad \text{or} \quad a = 2 \] ### Step 9: Solve for \( x \) Since \( a = \log_2 x \): 1. For \( a = 2 \): \[ \log_2 x = 2 \implies x = 2^2 = 4 \] 2. For \( a = -\frac{1}{3} \): \[ \log_2 x = -\frac{1}{3} \implies x = 2^{-\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}} \] ### Final Solution Thus, the solutions for \( x \) are: \[ x = 4 \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}} \]

To solve the equation \( \log_{x^2} 16 + \log_{2x} 64 = 3 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the logarithms in terms of base 2 We know that: - \( 16 = 2^4 \) - \( 64 = 2^6 \) Thus, we can rewrite the equation as: ...
