Answer :
x = 6
Solution :
- Given : log2x + log(x - 4) = log24
- To find : x = ?
We have ,
=> log2x + log(x - 4) = log24
=> log2x(x - 4) = log24
=> 2x(x - 4) = 24
=> x(x - 4) = 24/2
=> x² - 4x = 12
=> x² - 4x - 12 = 0
=> x² - 6x + 2x - 12 = 0
=> x(x - 6) + 2(x - 6) = 0
=> (x - 6)(x + 2) = 0
=> x = 6 , -2
=> x = 6 (appropriate value)
Note : x = -2 is rejected value . Because if x = -2 then , log2x = log2(-2) = log(-4) and log(x - 4) = log(-2 - 4) = log(-6) and we know that log(-ve) is not defined .
Hence x = 6 .
