Answer

x=±5x = \pm 5

Step-by-step solution

6 steps

Ili kutatua xx, tutatumia kanuni za logariti.

  1. Rahisisha upande wa kulia wa mlinganyo.

    Tunajua kuwa log⁡bb=1\log_b b = 1. Kwa hiyo, log⁡22=1\log_2 2 = 1.

    log⁡2(x2−9)=3log⁡22+1\log_2(x^2 - 9) = 3\log_2 2 + 1 log⁡2(x2−9)=3(1)+1\log_2(x^2 - 9) = 3(1) + 1 log⁡2(x2−9)=3+1\log_2(x^2 - 9) = 3 + 1 log⁡2(x2−9)=4\log_2(x^2 - 9) = 4
  2. Badilisha mlinganyo wa logariti kuwa mlinganyo wa kielelezo.

    Kama log⁡bA=C\log_b A = C, basi bC=Ab^C = A.

    24=x2−92^4 = x^2 - 9
  3. Kokotoa 242^4.

    16=x2−916 = x^2 - 9
  4. Tatua mlinganyo wa aljebra kwa xx.

    Ongeza 9 pande zote mbili.

    16+9=x216 + 9 = x^2 25=x225 = x^2
  5. Chukua mzizi wa mraba wa pande zote mbili.

    x=±25x = \pm\sqrt{25} x=±5x = \pm 5
  6. Thibitisha suluhisho.

    Kwa logariti, hoja (x2−9x^2 - 9) lazima iwe chanya.
    Kwa x=5x=5: 52−9=25−9=16>05^2 - 9 = 25 - 9 = 16 > 0. Hii ni halali.
    Kwa x=−5x=-5: (−5)2−9=25−9=16>0(-5)^2 - 9 = 25 - 9 = 16 > 0. Hii pia ni halali.
