QuestionSolve for xx in the equation log9(2+x)=log164log112x\log _{9}(2+x)=\log _{16} 4-\log _{1} \sqrt{1-2 x}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The logarithmic equation given is log9(+x)=log164log11x\log{9}(+x)=\log{16}4-\log{1} \sqrt{1- x}. . We are looking for the value of xx that satisfies this equation.
3. We assume that the logarithms are defined, which means +x>0+x >0 and 1x>01-x >0.

STEP 2

First, we simplify the right side of the equation. Notice that log164=1/2\log{16}4 =1/2 because 161/2=416^{1/2} =4. And log112x\log{1} \sqrt{1-2 x} is undefined because the base of a logarithm cannot be1. Therefore, the original equation is incorrect.
log9(2+x)=log164log112x\log{9}(2+x)=\log{16}4-\log{1} \sqrt{1-2 x}log9(2+x)=1/2undefined\log{9}(2+x)=1/2-\text{undefined}Since the equation contains an undefined term, it cannot be solved.
