Q.7 a)
Almost.Daniel-08 said:ok 6.a) was x = 3pi/4, 9pi/4, -3pi/4, -9pi/4
for 7.a), you had to multiply all terms by ln x, making the function a quadratic
(ln x)^2 - 2(ln x) -3 = 0
sub in u = ln x
u^2 - 2u -3 =0
(u-3)(u+1) = 0
u = 3, u = 1
Therefore ln x =3, ln x =1
x = e^3, x = 1/e
u = 3 u = -1Daniel-08 said:ok 6.a) was x = 3pi/4, 9pi/4, -3pi/4, -9pi/4

(ln x)^2 - 2(ln x) -3 = 0
sub in u = ln x
u^2 - 2u -3 =0
(u-3)(u+1) = 0
u = 3, u = 1
Therefore ln x =3, ln x =1
x = e^3, x = 1/e
Press on your calculator ln (1/e).Azreil said:Almost.
u=-1
lnx = -1 (no solutions)
therefore etc.
x = e^3, x = 1/eDaniel-08 said:(ln x)^2 - 2(ln x) -3 = 0
sub in u = ln x
u^2 - 2u -3 =0
(u-3)(u+1) = 0
u = 3, u = -1
Therefore ln x =3, ln x = -1
True, but 1/e is positive.dwarven said:ln x = 3 ln x =/= -1 as x > 0
the question, the firsteferenced 6) a), references a domain between - pi and piDaniel-08 said:ok 6.a) was x = 3pi/4, 9pi/4, -3pi/4, -9pi/4
