Solve the equation 2lnx-4ln11=0

We'll move the number alone to the right
side:


2lnx = 4ln11


We'll use
the power property of logarithms:


ln x^2 = ln
11^4


Since the bases are matching, we'll use the one to one
property of logarithms:


x^2 =
11^4


We'll take square root both
sides:


x1 = sqrt 11^4


x1 =
11^2


x1 = 121


x2 =
-121


Since the solution of the equation has
to be positive for the logarithms to exist, we'll accept as a solution only x =
121.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
