Question

which system of equations could be graphed to solve the equation below?

\\(\log_{0.5} x = \log_{3} 2 + x\\)

\\(y_1 = \frac{\log 0.5}{x}, y_2 = \frac{\log 3}{2+x}\\)

\\(y_1 = \frac{\log x}{\log 0.5}, y_2 = \frac{\log 2+x}{\log 3}\\)

\\(y_1 = \frac{\log 0.5}{\log 3}, y_2 = \frac{\log x}{\log 2+x}\\)

\\(y_1 = \frac{\log x}{\log 0.5}, y_2 = \frac{\log 2}{\log 3} + x\\)

Explanation:

Split the equation into a system of two equations

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Apply the change of base formula to each equation

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(y_1 = \frac{\log 0.5}{x}, y_2 = \frac{\log 3}{2+x}\)
  • (B) \(y_1 = \frac{\log x}{\log 0.5}, y_2 = \frac{\log(2+x)}{\log 3}\)
  • (C) \(y_1 = \frac{\log 0.5}{\log 3}, y_2 = \frac{\log x}{\log(2+x)}\)
  • (D) \(y_1 = \frac{\log x}{\log 0.5}, y_2 = \frac{\log 2}{\log 3} + x\) (Correct answer)
