The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \((\log_5 x)^2 + \log_{5x} \left(\frac{5}{x}\right) = 1\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Change the base of the logarithm We can rewrite \(\log_{5x} \left(\frac{5}{x}\right)\) using the change of base formula: \[ \log_{5x} \left(\frac{5}{x}\right) = \frac{\log_5 \left(\frac{5}{x}\right)}{\log_5 (5x)} \] This gives us: \[ \log_{5x} \left(\frac{5}{x}\right) = \frac{\log_5 5 - \log_5 x}{\log_5 5 + \log_5 x} = \frac{1 - \log_5 x}{1 + \log_5 x} \] ### Step 2: Substitute \(y = \log_5 x\) Let \(y = \log_5 x\). The equation now becomes: \[ y^2 + \frac{1 - y}{1 + y} = 1 \] ### Step 3: Simplify the equation Now, we can simplify: \[ y^2 + \frac{1 - y}{1 + y} - 1 = 0 \] This can be rewritten as: \[ y^2 + \frac{1 - y - (1 + y)}{1 + y} = 0 \] \[ y^2 + \frac{-2y}{1 + y} = 0 \] Multiplying through by \(1 + y\) (assuming \(y \neq -1\)): \[ y^2(1 + y) - 2y = 0 \] \[ y^3 - 2y + y^2 = 0 \] \[ y^3 + y^2 - 2y = 0 \] ### Step 4: Factor the equation Factoring out \(y\): \[ y(y^2 + y - 2) = 0 \] Now factor the quadratic: \[ y^2 + y - 2 = (y - 1)(y + 2) \] Thus, we have: \[ y(y - 1)(y + 2) = 0 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \(y\) The solutions for \(y\) are: \[ y = 0, \quad y = 1, \quad y = -2 \] ### Step 6: Find \(x\) Converting back to \(x\): 1. If \(y = 0\), then \(x = 5^0 = 1\). 2. If \(y = 1\), then \(x = 5^1 = 5\). 3. If \(y = -2\), then \(x = 5^{-2} = \frac{1}{25}\) (not an integer). Thus, the integral solutions are \(x_1 = 1\) and \(x_2 = 5\) (where \(x_2 > x_1\)). ### Step 7: Calculate \(|x_2 - 4x_1|\) Now we need to find: \[ |x_2 - 4x_1| = |5 - 4 \cdot 1| = |5 - 4| = |1| = 1 \] ### Final Answer The value of \(|x_2 - 4x_1|\) is \(1\). ---
