ln x + ln (3x-2) = 0
We will
use the logarithm properties to solve for x.
We know that:
log a + log b = log a*b
Then we will
write:
ln x + ln (3x-2) = ln x*(3x-2) =
0
==> ln (3x^2-2x) =
0
Now we will rewrite into the exponent
form.
==> 3x^2 - 2x = e^0 =
1
==> 3x^2 - 2x -1 =
0
Now we will use the formula to find the
roots.
==> x1= (2 + sqrt(4+4*3) / 2*3 = (2+4)/6 =
1
==> x2= (2-4)/6 = -2/6 = -1/3 ( not defined for ln
x)
Then the only solution is x=
1
