先用对数律把左边的 2log 合成平方,再把 3 写成 log28。最后去掉对数,得到一个二次方程。别忘了检查对数定义域。

First use
2log2(4−x)=log2(4−x)2
and
3=log28.
So
log2(4−x)2===log28+log2(2x+11)log2(8⋅2x+11)log2(4x+44).
Therefore,
(4−x)2=4x+44.
Solve:
16−8x+x2=x2−12x−28=(x−14)(x+2)=4x+4400.
So
x=14orx=−2.
The logarithms require
4−x>0and2x+11>0,
so
−11<x<4.
Hence x=14 is not allowed.
Therefore,
x=−2.

交点处两个 y 相等。把 32x+1 写成 3⋅(3x)2,再约去一个 3x。
答题过程
展开
At the point of intersection,
32x+1=6×3x.
Now
32x+1=3(3x)2.
So
3(3x)2=3x=6(3x)2.
Therefore,
x=log32.
Substitute into y=6×3x:
y=6(2)=12.
Hence
P=(log32,12).

也可以直接对等式两边取以 3 为底的对数。这样能更清楚地把指数方程变成一次方程。

At the intersection,
32x+1=6×3x.
Taking log3 of both sides gives
log3(32x+1)=2x+1=2x+1=2x+1=x=log3(6×3x)log36+log3(3x)log3(3⋅2)+x1+log32+xlog32.
Then
y=6×3log32=12.
Therefore,
P=(log32,12).
