What is solution of the equation : log(4x+16) - log100 = log16 - 2*log2

We'll apply quotient rule, both sides of the
equation:


log [(4x+16)/100] =
log(16/4)


Since the bases are matching, we'll apply one to
one property:


[(4x+16)/100] =
16/4


[(4x+16)/100] = 4


We'll
multiply by 100 both sides:


4x + 16 =
4*100


We'll divide by 4:


x + 4
= 100


We'll subtract 4:


x =
100 - 4


x = 96


The constraint
of existence of logarithm is
4x+16>0


4x>-16


x>-4


The
interval of admissible values for x is (-4 ;
+infinite).


Since the value of x is in the
rangle of admissible values, we'll accept as solution of the equation x =
96.

Can (sec x - cosec x) / (tan x - cot x) be simplified further?

Given the expression ( sec x - csec x ) / (tan x - cot x) We need to simplify. We will use trigonometric identities ...
