Part h· 16 steps

log⁡5(1/125)\log_5 (1/125)

This is an expression, not an equation. To convert it to index form, we first need to find its value.

  1. Let log⁡5(1/125)=N\log_5 (1/125) = N.

    5N=11255^N = \frac{1}{125}
  2. Express 1/1251/125 as a power of 5.

    5N=1535^N = \frac{1}{5^3} 5N=5−35^N = 5^{-3}
  3. Equate the exponents to find NN.

    N=−3N = -3

    So, the logarithmic form is log⁡5(1/125)=−3\log_5 (1/125) = -3.
    Converting to index form:

    5−3=1125\boxed{5^{-3} = \frac{1}{125}}

    G) Solve the following logarithmic equations

    1) log⁡(x2−4x+7)=2\log (x^2 - 4x + 7) = 2
    Assuming the base is 10 (common logarithm).

  4. Convert the logarithmic equation to an exponential equation.

    x2−4x+7=102x^2 - 4x + 7 = 10^2 x2−4x+7=100x^2 - 4x + 7 = 100
  5. Rearrange the equation into a standard quadratic form.

    x2−4x−93=0x^2 - 4x - 93 = 0
  6. Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}.

    x=−(−4)±(−4)2−4(1)(−93)2(1)x = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4(1)(-93)}}{2(1)} x=4±16+3722x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 + 372}}{2} x=4±3882x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{388}}{2} x=4±2972x = \frac{4 \pm 2\sqrt{97}}{2} x=2±97x = 2 \pm \sqrt{97}

    The expression x2−4x+7x^2 - 4x + 7 is always positive, so both solutions are valid.

    x=2±97\boxed{x = 2 \pm \sqrt{97}}

    2) log⁡10(x2−3x+12)=1\log_{10} (x^2 - 3x + 12) = 1

  7. Convert the logarithmic equation to an exponential equation.

    x2−3x+12=101x^2 - 3x + 12 = 10^1 x2−3x+12=10x^2 - 3x + 12 = 10
  8. Rearrange the equation into a standard quadratic form.

    x2−3x+2=0x^2 - 3x + 2 = 0
  9. Solve the quadratic equation by factoring.

    (x−1)(x−2)=0(x-1)(x-2) = 0 x=1orx=2x = 1 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 2

    The expression x2−3x+12x^2 - 3x + 12 is always positive, so both solutions are valid.

    x=1,2\boxed{x = 1, 2}

    3) log⁡3(x2+12x+27)=2\log_3 (x^2 + 12x + 27) = 2

  10. Convert the logarithmic equation to an exponential equation.

    x2+12x+27=32x^2 + 12x + 27 = 3^2 x2+12x+27=9x^2 + 12x + 27 = 9
  11. Rearrange the equation into a standard quadratic form.

    x2+12x+18=0x^2 + 12x + 18 = 0
  12. Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula.

    x=−12±122−4(1)(18)2(1)x = \frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{12^2 - 4(1)(18)}}{2(1)} x=−12±144−722x = \frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{144 - 72}}{2} x=−12±722x = \frac{-12 \pm \sqrt{72}}{2} x=−12±622x = \frac{-12 \pm 6\sqrt{2}}{2} x=−6±32x = -6 \pm 3\sqrt{2}

    Both solutions satisfy the domain condition x2+12x+27>0x^2 + 12x + 27 > 0.

    x=−6±32\boxed{x = -6 \pm 3\sqrt{2}}

    4) log⁡x(x2+6x+11)=1/2\log_x (x^2 + 6x + 11) = 1/2

  13. Convert the logarithmic equation to an exponential equation.

    x1/2=x2+6x+11x^{1/2} = x^2 + 6x + 11 x=x2+6x+11\sqrt{x} = x^2 + 6x + 11

    For the logarithm to be defined, the base xx must be x>0x > 0 and x≠1x \neq 1. Also, x2+6x+11>0x^2 + 6x + 11 > 0. The discriminant of x2+6x+11x^2 + 6x + 11 is 62−4(1)(11)=36−44=−8<06^2 - 4(1)(11) = 36 - 44 = -8 < 0. Since the leading coefficient is positive, x2+6x+11x^2 + 6x + 11 is always positive.

  14. Analyze the equation x=x2+6x+11\sqrt{x} = x^2 + 6x + 11.

    Let f(x)=x2+6x+11−xf(x) = x^2 + 6x + 11 - \sqrt{x}. We are looking for f(x)=0f(x)=0.
    The minimum value of x2+6x+11x^2 + 6x + 11 occurs at x=−6/(2×1)=−3x = -6/(2 \times 1) = -3. At this point, x2+6x+11=(−3)2+6(−3)+11=9−18+11=2x^2 + 6x + 11 = (-3)^2 + 6(-3) + 11 = 9 - 18 + 11 = 2.
    Since x>0x > 0, the minimum value of x2+6x+11x^2 + 6x + 11 for x>0x>0 is greater than 2 (e.g., at x=0x=0, it's 11; at x=1x=1, it's 18).
    The function x\sqrt{x} for x>0x>0 has values x≥0\sqrt{x} \ge 0.
    For x=x2+6x+11\sqrt{x} = x^2 + 6x + 11 to have a solution, x\sqrt{x} must be at least 2, which means x≥4x \ge 4.
    If x=4x=4, 4=2\sqrt{4}=2, but 42+6(4)+11=16+24+11=514^2+6(4)+11 = 16+24+11 = 51. So 2≠512 \neq 51.
    As xx increases, x2+6x+11x^2 + 6x + 11 grows much faster than x\sqrt{x}.
    Therefore, there are no real values of xx that satisfy this equation.

    No real solutions\boxed{\text{No real solutions}}

    5) log⁡5(x3−9)=0\log_5 (x^3 - 9) = 0

  15. Convert the logarithmic equation to an exponential equation.

    x3−9=50x^3 - 9 = 5^0 x3−9=1x^3 - 9 = 1
  16. Solve for xx.

    x3=10x^3 = 10 x=103x = \sqrt[3]{10}

    For the logarithm to be defined, x3−9>0x^3 - 9 > 0, which means x3>9x^3 > 9, or x>93x > \sqrt[3]{9}.
    Since 103>93\sqrt[3]{10} > \sqrt[3]{9}, the solution is valid.

    x=103\boxed{x = \sqrt[3]{10}}
