Hapa kuna hatua za kutatua milinganyo ya logariti:

Part i· 5 steps

log⁡2(x−1)+log⁡2x=6\log_2 (x-1) + \log_2 x = 6

  1. Tumia sheria ya logariti log⁡bM+log⁡bN=log⁡b(M⋅N)\log_b M + \log_b N = \log_b (M \cdot N) kuunganisha maneno.

    log⁡2((x−1)x)=6\log_2 ((x-1)x) = 6 log⁡2(x2−x)=6\log_2 (x^2 - x) = 6
  2. Badilisha mlinganyo wa logariti kuwa mlinganyo wa kielelezo kwa kutumia log⁡bA=C  ⟹  bC=A\log_b A = C \implies b^C = A.

    26=x2−x2^6 = x^2 - x 64=x2−x64 = x^2 - x
  3. Panga upya mlinganyo kuwa fomu ya quadratic ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0.

    x2−x−64=0x^2 - x - 64 = 0
  4. Tumia fomula ya quadratic x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} kutatua kwa xx.

    Hapa a=1a=1, b=−1b=-1, c=−64c=-64.

    x=−(−1)±(−1)2−4(1)(−64)2(1)x = \frac{-(-1) \pm \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4(1)(-64)}}{2(1)} x=1±1+2562x = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 256}}{2} x=1±2572x = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{257}}{2}
  5. Angalia masharti ya logariti.

    Kwa log⁡2(x−1)\log_2 (x-1) na log⁡2x\log_2 x kufafanuliwa, tunahitaji x−1>0  ⟹  x>1x-1 > 0 \implies x > 1 na x>0x > 0. Hivyo, xx lazima iwe kubwa kuliko 1.

    x1=1+2572≈1+16.032≈8.515x_1 = \frac{1 + \sqrt{257}}{2} \approx \frac{1 + 16.03}{2} \approx 8.515 x2=1−2572≈1−16.032≈−7.515x_2 = \frac{1 - \sqrt{257}}{2} \approx \frac{1 - 16.03}{2} \approx -7.515

    Thamani ya x2x_2 si kubwa kuliko 1, kwa hivyo si suluhisho halali.

    Suluhisho la kwanza ni:

    x=1+2572\boxed{x = \frac{1 + \sqrt{257}}{2}}

Part ii

x=−3+1092x = \frac{-3 + \sqrt{109}}{2}

log⁡3(x+1)+log⁡3(x+2)=3\log_3 (x+1) + \log_3 (x+2) = 3

  1. Tumia sheria ya logariti log⁡bM+log⁡bN=log⁡b(M⋅N)\log_b M + \log_b N = \log_b (M \cdot N) kuunganisha maneno.

    log⁡3((x+1)(x+2))=3\log_3 ((x+1)(x+2)) = 3 log⁡3(x2+2x+x+2)=3\log_3 (x^2 + 2x + x + 2) = 3 log⁡3(x2+3x+2)=3\log_3 (x^2 + 3x + 2) = 3
  2. Badilisha mlinganyo wa logariti kuwa mlinganyo wa kielelezo kwa kutumia log⁡bA=C  ⟹  bC=A\log_b A = C \implies b^C = A.

    33=x2+3x+23^3 = x^2 + 3x + 2 27=x2+3x+227 = x^2 + 3x + 2
  3. Panga upya mlinganyo kuwa fomu ya quadratic ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0.

    x2+3x+2−27=0x^2 + 3x + 2 - 27 = 0 x2+3x−25=0x^2 + 3x - 25 = 0
  4. Tumia fomula ya quadratic x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} kutatua kwa xx.

    Hapa a=1a=1, b=3b=3, c=−25c=-25.

    x=−3±32−4(1)(−25)2(1)x = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{3^2 - 4(1)(-25)}}{2(1)} x=−3±9+1002x = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{9 + 100}}{2} x=−3±1092x = \frac{-3 \pm \sqrt{109}}{2}
  5. Angalia masharti ya logariti.

    Kwa log⁡3(x+1)\log_3 (x+1) na log⁡3(x+2)\log_3 (x+2) kufafanuliwa, tunahitaji x+1>0  ⟹  x>−1x+1 > 0 \implies x > -1 na x+2>0  ⟹  x>−2x+2 > 0 \implies x > -2. Hivyo, xx lazima iwe kubwa kuliko -1.

    x1=−3+1092≈−3+10.442≈3.72x_1 = \frac{-3 + \sqrt{109}}{2} \approx \frac{-3 + 10.44}{2} \approx 3.72 x2=−3−1092≈−3−10.442≈−6.72x_2 = \frac{-3 - \sqrt{109}}{2} \approx \frac{-3 - 10.44}{2} \approx -6.72

    Thamani ya x2x_2 si kubwa kuliko -1, kwa hivyo si suluhisho halali.

    Suluhisho la pili ni:

    x=−3+1092\boxed{x = \frac{-3 + \sqrt{109}}{2}}
