The correct Answer is:
To solve the given system of equations, we start with the equations: 1. \(\log_{10}(x^3 - x^2) = \log_{5}(y^2)\) 2. \(\log_{10}(y^3 - y^2) = \log_{5}(z^2)\) 3. \(\log_{10}(z^3 - z^2) = \log_{5}(x^2)\) ### Step 1: Rewrite the equations using properties of logarithms From the first equation, we can express it in exponential form: \[ x^3 - x^2 = 5^{\log_{5}(y^2)} = y^2 \] Thus, we have: \[ x^3 - x^2 = y^2 \quad \text{(1)} \] From the second equation: \[ y^3 - y^2 = z^2 \quad \text{(2)} \] From the third equation: \[ z^3 - z^2 = x^2 \quad \text{(3)} \] ### Step 2: Analyze the function \(f(t) = t^3 - t^2\) We can define a function: \[ f(t) = t^3 - t^2 = t^2(t - 1) \] This function is defined for \(t > 1\) and is increasing for \(t > 1\). ### Step 3: Establish relationships between \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) Since \(f(t)\) is increasing, if \(x > y\), then \(f(x) > f(y)\), which implies: \[ y^2 > z^2 \implies y > z \quad \text{(from (1) and (2))} \] Continuing this reasoning: - If \(y > z\), then \(f(y) > f(z)\) implies: \[ z^2 > x^2 \implies z > x \quad \text{(from (2) and (3))} \] - If \(z > x\), then \(f(z) > f(x)\) implies: \[ x^2 > y^2 \implies x > y \quad \text{(from (3) and (1))} \] This leads to a contradiction, suggesting that \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) must be equal. ### Step 4: Conclude that \(x = y = z\) Since \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) cannot be greater than or less than each other, we conclude: \[ x = y = z \] ### Step 5: Solve for the common value Substituting \(y = x\) into the first equation: \[ \log_{10}(x^3 - x^2) = \log_{5}(x^2) \] This implies: \[ x^3 - x^2 = x^2 \implies x^3 - 2x^2 = 0 \implies x^2(x - 2) = 0 \] Since \(x > 1\), we have: \[ x = 2 \] Thus, \(x = y = z = 2\). ### Final Answer The unique solution to the system is: \[ x = y = z = 2 \]

To solve the given system of equations, we start with the equations: 1. \(\log_{10}(x^3 - x^2) = \log_{5}(y^2)\) 2. \(\log_{10}(y^3 - y^2) = \log_{5}(z^2)\) 3. \(\log_{10}(z^3 - z^2) = \log_{5}(x^2)\) ### Step 1: Rewrite the equations using properties of logarithms From the first equation, we can express it in exponential form: ...
