To use the product property to the left side, we'll have
to create matching bases;
log 4 (x+4) = log 3 (x+4)/log 3 4
=> log 3 (x+4) = (log 3 4)*(log 4 (x+4))
The
equation will become:
log4 (x+1)+(log 3 4)*(log 4 (x+4)) =
log 4 4
(log 3 4)*(log 4 (x+4)) = log 4 4 - log4
(x+1)
(log 3 4)*(log 4 (x+4)) = log 4
[4/(x+1)]
(ln 4/ln 3)*(log 4 (x+4)) = log 4
[4/(x+1)]
(ln 4/ln3) `~=`
log
4 (x+4)^1.263 = log 4 [4/(x+1)]
Since the bases are
matching, we'll use one to one property:
(x+4)^1.263 =
[4/(x+1)]
(x+1)*(x+4)^1.263 =
4
The factors could be:
x+ 1
=1
x = 0 => (x+4)^1.263 = 4
impossible
x+1 = -1
x = -2
=> (-2+4)^1.263 = -4 impossible
x + 1 =
2
x = 1 => (1+4)^1.263 = 2
impossible
x + 1 = -2
x = -3
=> (-3+4)^1.263 = -2 impossible
x + 1 = 4 =>
(3+4)^1.263 = 1 impossible
x =
3
x + 1=-4
x = -5 =>
(-5+4)^1.263 = -1 => x = -5
We'll
accept as solution of equation x = -5
