In question 21, x = -6 can't be the answer because it's not in domain of log(x+5).... Log(-1) is not defined so -6 can't be counted as an answer..
Log(x+5) = log4 - log(x+2)
Right?
But if -6 if the answer then...
log(-1) = log4 - log(-4)
How will you define that?
Logarithm of NEGATIVE numbers is NOT DEFINED.
Domain of the equation is :
Log(x+5) →x≥ (-5)
Log (x+2) →x ≥(-2)
So, x can have values only between (-2, ∞), any value outside this interval is not defined.
( log(0) is also NOT DEFINED)
log A - log B = log (A/B)
X+5 = 4/(X+2)
When you cross multiply you end up with a Quadratic equation, and the value of X will be - 6 and - 1.
