Answer:

From step 4 to 9 is the required steps shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Solution below,

[tex]\log x -\log_5 3 = 2\log_5 3\\\log x = 3\log_5 3\\\log x = \log_5 33\\x = 27[/tex]      

To find : The error in the solution and what additional step needs to be completed?

Solution : The mistake is the step 3 and additional step need to be added after it.

Step 1 - [tex]\log x -\log_5 3 = 2\log_5 3[/tex]

Step 2 - [tex]\log x = 3\log_5 3[/tex]

Step 3 - [tex]\log x =\log_5 3^3[/tex]

Step 4 - [tex]\log x=\log_5 27[/tex]

Applying change base rule of logarithmic, [tex]\log_b a=\frac{\log a}{\log b}[/tex]

Step 5 - [tex]\log x=\frac{\log 27}{\log 5}[/tex]

Step 6 - [tex]\log x=\frac{1.431}{0.698}[/tex]

Step 7 - [tex]\log x=2.050[/tex]

Step 8 - [tex]x=10^{2.050}[/tex]

Step 9 - [tex]x=112.20[/tex]

From step 4 to 9 is the required steps.

We need to add two steps to the solution

  • ln(x) = ln(10)*ln(3^3)/ln(5)  = 4.72
  • x = Exp(4.72).

Solving the equation step by step.

We start with the equation:

log(x) - log₅(3) = 2*log₅(3).

Where we assume:

log(x) = log₁₀(x) = ln(x)/log(10)

log₅(3) = ln(3)/ln(5)

Now let's follow the steps:

step 1)

log(x)  = 3*log₅(3).

Here we just moved the constant term from the left side to the right side, this is correct.

step 2)

log(x)  = log₅(3^3).

This is correct, the coefficient can be moved to the exponent of the argument.

step 3)

x = 27

This is wrong, here you say that the arguments must be equal, but the logarithms are different logarithms. so this is incorrect.

Here we should add step 2.5)

ln(x) = ln(10)*ln(3^3)/ln(5)

Now we have:

ln(x) = ln(10)*log(27)/log(5) = 4.72

Now another step, let's say  step 2.75)

We apply the exponential equation to both sides:

Exp(ln(x)) = Exp(4.72)

x = 112.17

So we need to add two steps to the solution before step 3.
