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 using properties of logarithms We can express 16 and 64 in terms of powers of 4: - \( 16 = 4^2 \) - \( 64 = 4^3 \) Thus, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ \log_{x^2} (4^2) + \log_{2x} (4^3) = 3 \] ### Step 2: Apply the power rule of logarithms Using the property \( \log_b (a^n) = n \log_b (a) \), we get: \[ 2 \log_{x^2} 4 + 3 \log_{2x} 4 = 3 \] ### Step 3: Change the base of the logarithms Using the change of base formula \( \log_a b = \frac{\log_c b}{\log_c a} \), we can express the logarithms in terms of base 2: \[ 2 \cdot \frac{\log_2 4}{\log_2 (x^2)} + 3 \cdot \frac{\log_2 4}{\log_2 (2x)} = 3 \] Since \( \log_2 4 = 2 \), we can substitute this into the equation: \[ 2 \cdot \frac{2}{\log_2 (x^2)} + 3 \cdot \frac{2}{\log_2 (2x)} = 3 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the equation This simplifies to: \[ \frac{4}{\log_2 (x^2)} + \frac{6}{\log_2 (2x)} = 3 \] ### Step 5: Express logarithms in simpler forms We know that: - \( \log_2 (x^2) = 2 \log_2 x \) - \( \log_2 (2x) = \log_2 2 + \log_2 x = 1 + \log_2 x \) Substituting these into the equation gives: \[ \frac{4}{2 \log_2 x} + \frac{6}{1 + \log_2 x} = 3 \] ### Step 6: Let \( t = \log_2 x \) Substituting \( t \) into the equation, we have: \[ \frac{2}{t} + \frac{6}{1 + t} = 3 \] ### Step 7: Clear the fractions Multiply through by \( t(1 + t) \) to eliminate the denominators: \[ 2(1 + t) + 6t = 3t(1 + t) \] This expands to: \[ 2 + 2t + 6t = 3t + 3t^2 \] Combining like terms gives: \[ 2 + 8t = 3t + 3t^2 \] Rearranging leads to: \[ 3t^2 - 5t - 2 = 0 \] ### Step 8: Factor the quadratic equation We can factor the quadratic: \[ (3t + 1)(t - 2) = 0 \] Setting each factor to zero gives: 1. \( 3t + 1 = 0 \) → \( t = -\frac{1}{3} \) 2. \( t - 2 = 0 \) → \( t = 2 \) ### Step 9: Solve for \( x \) Recalling that \( t = \log_2 x \): 1. If \( t = 2 \), then \( x = 2^2 = 4 \). 2. If \( t = -\frac{1}{3} \), then \( x = 2^{-\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}} \). ### Final Answer Thus, the solutions for \( x \) are: \[ x = 4 \quad \text{or} \quad x = \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}} \]

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