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}\\)
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)
