Challenge work in pairs Choose four integers between 1 and 8 inclusive, called a, b, c, d Write the equations ?? ? ? ? and ? + ? = ? ln ? + ? = Solve your neighbours equations
WB35Exam Q Find the exact solutions to these equations a) ln 3? 8 = 2 b) 3??8?+3= 18 a) 3? 8 =?2 take exp both sides 3? =?2+8 rearrange ? =1 3?2+ 8 3??8?+3= 18 take ln both sides ?) ln 3??8?+3= ln18 use rules of logs ln 3?+ (8? + 3) = ln18 use rules of logs x ln 3 + 8? + 3 = ? ln3 + 8 + 3 = ln18 rearrange ln18 3 ln3 + 8 ? =
WB36 Exam Q 3?2 10?+8 ?2 5?+6 a) Simplify b) Hence solve the equation ln(3?2 10? + 8) ln (?2 5? + 6) = ln2? a) 3?2 10?+8 ?2 5?+6 = (3? 4)(? 2) (? 3)(? 2) =3? 4 ? 3 b) LHSln(3?2 10? + 8) ln ?2 5? + 6 = ln3?2 10?+8 ?2 5?+6 = ln3? 4 ? 3 3? 4 ? 3 = 2? ln3? 4 ? 3 = ln 2x gives So 2?2 9? + 4 = 0 (2? 1)(? 4) = 0 ? =1 2 or ? = 4
WB37 Solving disguised quadratics a) Solve ?2? 6??+ 8 = 0 This is just the same as with other disguised quadratics solve then take ln of both sides ?? 2 6??+ 8 = 0 ?? 4 ?? 2 = 0 ??= 4 or ??= 2 ? = ln4 or ? = ln2 16 ???= 6 ?) ??? solve then take exp of both sides ln?2 6(ln?) 16 = 0 ln? 8 ln? + 2 = 0 ln? = 8 or ln? = 2 ? = ?8=2981 or ? = ? 2= 0.135 Check your answers with a calculator
