We'll impose the constraints of existence of
logarithms:
x+3
>0
x>-3
x-3>0
x>3
The
interval of admissible solutions for the given equation is: (3 ;
+infinite).
Now, we'll sove the equation, adding log(x-3)
both sides:
log(x+3) + log(x-3) =
3
We'll apply the product
rule:
log (x+3)(x-3) = 3
We'll
recognize the difference of squares:
log (x^2 - 9) =
3
We'll take
antilogarithm:
x^2 - 9 =
10^3
x^2 - 9 = 1000
We'll add
9 both sides:
x^2 = 1009
x1 =
sqrt 1009
x1 = 31.764
x2 =
-31.764
Since the 2nd value of the root doesn't belong to
the range of admissible values, we'll reject
it.
The only valid solution of the equation
is:x = 31.764 (approx.)
