Integer Answer Type

21. The number of solutions of the equation log3(x + 1) + log3(x + 3) = 1 is
Ans. 1
Sol. log3(x + 1) + log3(x + 3) = 1 ...(i)
log3(x + 1) (x + 3) = 1 x2 + 4x + 3 = 3 x (x + 4) = 0 x = 0, – 4
But x = –4 does not satisfy the equation (i)
x=0

22. The value of x satisfying the equation 52log5 x x 6 0 is

Ans. 3

Sol. 52log5 x x 6 0 ...(i)

2
5log 5 x x 6 0 x2 x 6 0 (x 3)(x 2) 0 x 3, 2

since x = –2 does not satisfy the equation (i)

Hence, x = 3
