a=3.867
(ii)

思路
展开
把对数差合并为一个商的对数,再转化为指数式。对数真数为正,故只取正根。

Solve 4+3log3b=log3(5b):
4+log3b3=4=4=4=log3(5b)log3(5b)−log3b3log3b35blog3b25
Converting to index form:
34=81=b2=b=b25b2581595
(Taking the positive value since the argument of a logarithm must be positive.)
b=95
解法二
思路
展开
先将常数 4 写成 log381,把等号左侧合成一个乘积的对数,再比较真数。
答题过程

Since the logarithms require b>0,
log381+log3(b3)=log3(81b3)=log3(5b)log3(5b).
Equating the arguments and dividing by b>0:
81b3=81b2=b2=5b5815.
Taking the positive root gives
b=95.
