Question

solve \\(\log_3(x + 1) =
\log_6(5 - x)\\) by graphing.

what equations should be graphed?

\\(y_1 = \frac{\log(x + 1)}{\log 3}\\)

\\(y_1 = \frac{\log 3}{\log(x + 1)}\\)

\\(y_2 = \frac{\log 6}{\log(5 - x)}\\)

\\(y_2 = \frac{\log(5 - x)}{\log 6}\\)

Explanation:

Set up the system of equations

To solve the equation \(\log_3(x + 1) = \log_6(5 - x)\) by graphing, we define two separate functions representing each side of the equation:

$$ y_1 = \log_3(x + 1) $$
$$ y_2 = \log_6(5 - x) $$

Answer:

  • [x] \(y_1 = \frac{\log(x + 1)}{\log 3}\) (Correct answer)
  • [ ] \(y_1 = \frac{\log 3}{\log(x + 1)}\)
  • [ ] \(y_2 = \frac{\log 6}{\log(5 - x)}\)
  • [x] \(y_2 = \frac{\log(5 - x)}{\log 6}\) (Correct answer)
