The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation given in the problem, we will follow the steps outlined in the video transcript to find the other roots of the equation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the given equation:** \[ \log_\lambda(x^2 + 15a^2) - \log_\lambda(a - 2) = \log_\lambda\left(\frac{8ax}{a - 2}\right) \] 2. **Apply the logarithmic property:** Using the property of logarithms that states \(\log_a(b) - \log_a(c) = \log_a\left(\frac{b}{c}\right)\), we can rewrite the left side: \[ \log_\lambda\left(\frac{x^2 + 15a^2}{a - 2}\right) = \log_\lambda\left(\frac{8ax}{a - 2}\right) \] 3. **Eliminate the logarithm:** Since the logarithm is equal on both sides, we can set the arguments equal to each other: \[ \frac{x^2 + 15a^2}{a - 2} = \frac{8ax}{a - 2} \] Assuming \(a - 2 \neq 0\), we can multiply both sides by \(a - 2\): \[ x^2 + 15a^2 = 8ax \] 4. **Rearrange the equation:** Rearranging gives us: \[ x^2 - 8ax + 15a^2 = 0 \] 5. **Factor the quadratic equation:** We can factor the quadratic: \[ (x - 3a)(x - 5a) = 0 \] Therefore, the roots are: \[ x = 3a \quad \text{and} \quad x = 5a \] 6. **Use the known root to find \(a\):** We know that one of the roots is \(x = 9\). We can set up two equations: - From \(x = 3a\): \[ 9 = 3a \implies a = 3 \] - From \(x = 5a\): \[ 9 = 5a \implies a = \frac{9}{5} \] 7. **Check the conditions for \(a\):** Since \(a\) must be greater than 2, we have: - \(a = 3\) is valid. - \(a = \frac{9}{5} = 1.8\) is not valid. 8. **Find the other root:** Substitute \(a = 3\) back into the roots: - For \(x = 3a\): \[ x = 3 \times 3 = 9 \quad \text{(given root)} \] - For \(x = 5a\): \[ x = 5 \times 3 = 15 \] Thus, the other root of the equation is: \[ \boxed{15} \]
