    1/log(5) + 1/log(7) - 1/log(25) != 0, proof by intimidation

    • @gaymerjerry
      @gaymerjerry 6 лет назад +21

      if you want a further proof lets assume it is equal to 0
      1/log(5) + 1/log(7) - 1/log(25) = 0
      1/log(5) + 1/log(7) = 1/log(25)
      (log(5)+log(7))/(log(5)log(7)) = 1/log(25)
      log(5)log(7) = (log(5)+log(7)) log(25)
      log(5)log(7) = (log(5)+log(7)) log(5^2)
      log(5)log(7) = 2 (log(5)+log(7)) log(5)
      log(7) = (log(5)+log(7)) 2
      log(7) = 2 log(5)+ 2 log(7)
      0 = 2 log(5)+ log(7)
      log(5)>log(1) therefore log(5)>0
      log(7)>log(1) therefore log(7)>0
      therefore 2 log(5)+ log(7)>0
      therefore 1/log(5) + 1/log(7) - 1/log(25) is not 0

    • @polyhistorphilomath
      @polyhistorphilomath 6 лет назад +3

      Multiply through by 2 log(5) to clear the fraction on the right first.
      Then 2 (1+log(5)/log(7)) log(x) = log(x) obtains.
      Subtract log(x) from both sides.
      [1+2 log(5)/log(7)] log(x)=0.
      To clarify, convert from the form log(a)/log(b) to the equivalent log_b(a).
      [1 + 2 log_7(5)] log(x) = 0.
      Let y = 1 and let z = 2 log_7(5).
      y is a positive quantity.
      Rewrite z=2 log_7(5) as log_7(25).
      log_7(7^1) < z < log_7(7^2) because
      7^1=7 < 25 < 7^2=49.
      Therefore 1 < z < 2.
      The expression in question is the coefficient of log(x).
      It is equivalent to y + z.
      Add 1 to the inequality.
      1+1< y+z < 2+1.
      2 < y+z < 3.
      0 < 2.
      0 != y + z.

      no, only for a=1. While watching the video, I was tempted to cancel out log(x), which actually means dividing by 0 after seeing the solution. If you do that, you get some logs which are not equal to each other (as he pointed out in the video that the second term cannot be zero)

      Rewrite it as e^ln(x^x). You can break this apart as e^(xlnx). Differentiating using the chain rule gives e^(xlnx)*(lnx + 1). Since e^(xlnx) is equal to x^x, you can get write the answer as: x^x(lnx + 1), and that's the answer
      edit: I should mention that you initially rewrite it using e because it gives an easy way to break apart the two x's

If we forget about e for a second and just go back to the original question, what does it even mean? More specifically, what the heck does something like pi^pi mean? If you can't even give a definition of x^x (for all real numbers x), then you definitely can't take its derivative. In fact e^xlogx is the very definition of x^x, and that is why writing it like that magically makes it easy to differentiate.

  • @shay_playz

    I used a completely different method. I used reduction to smaller possible base so log4X is 1/2Log2X hence we multiply x½ with x¹ to get x^(3/2) then we get 3/2log2X =6 therefore log2X is (6×2)/3 which is 4 then eliminate log so x is 2⁴ which is 16.

      Or you mean "log base 10 of 4X plus log base 10 of 2X is equal to 6"?
      You can write "log base 4 of X" as "log base 2 of X over log base 2 of 4" right? This is just "log base 2 of X, all over 2". So the sum is (3/2)*log base 2 of X. This is equal to 6. That means that the log base 2 of X is equal to 6*2/3=4. So X=2

    at 3:40 you've explained how to solve the
    log base 10 of x = 0
    by adding 10 as a base of their power on both sides.
    Could you explain a little further?
    about how this solution is cancelling out the log base 10.
    I mean, could anyone give me a tip
    Why the action of giving 10 as a base
    will cancel out log base 10.
    I get the process, and I understand what to do when similar question comes up in the future,
    but I'm questioning the understanding part. I want to know "why" it's done that way.

    • @MrKnivan
      @MrKnivan 7 лет назад +3

      Talestory JL idk if this answers your question but basically anytime we have log(x)=y, we’re saying “what number can we raise 10 to in order to yield y?” So if we take 10^[log(x)] we are effectively taking 10 and raising it to the number that yields us y. So the log(x) and 10 are “canceled out” in a sense because all we did was change the whole expression of 10^[log(x)] to y. Does that make sense?

      The trick is to substitute in the Pythagorean identity of 1 = csc²(x) - cot²(x). Upon expanding the brackets and utilising the substitution, the inside expression transforms to csc²(x) + 2csc(x)cot(x) + cot²(x) which can be further simplified as [csc(x) + cot(x)]². The square cancels with the square root, and you’re simply left to integrate csc(x) + cot(x).

      @@deeptochatterjee532 Not so fast. A derivation is also a differential algebraic operator D such that D(ab) = D(a)b + aD(b), and derivative is such a derivation. However, it is almost always possible to tell from context when someone is referring to an abstract derivation.

    • @primthon9596

      if the constant part is zero the whole equation is true, no matter what your x is. But note that x can only be positive, so x would be in (0; ∞).

    • @TheSandkastenverbot
      @TheSandkastenverbot 2 года назад

      No, 1 is the only solution. The natural logarithm of a complex number z=a*exp(i*phi) is ln(z) = ln(a) + i*phi. Since we're looking for ln(z)=0 the only solution is ln(a) = 0 and phi=0, so a=1 and therefore z=1*exp(i*0)=1

      Yes it's legit. If L = log_i(x) that means i^L = x.

    Hi all
    Here we take a=5, b=7 and c=25.
    It's seem strange to me that if you use others values for a, b or c you can have a second solution?
    Perhaps, in all case there are more than one solution in the complex number's world?

    • @renzalightning6008
      @renzalightning6008 7 лет назад +2

      Are you referring to the bases of the logs? if so, I think it unlikely for x to be anything other than 1 in a system like this. I might be wrong but it seems that way XD

    • @manudude02
      @manudude02 7 лет назад +2

      well, if a=125, b=25 and c=5, then x=125 works. When c is the highest value however, there can never be a positive non-zero answer
      edit: b should be 5^(3/2) as geCeeMeS says below, though the logs don't become 0s, you are effectively trying to solve x+2x=3x though.

    • @GeCeeMeS
      @GeCeeMeS 7 лет назад

      Well, not quite. If you choose e.g. a=125, b=5^(3/2) and c=5, then the term full of logs becomes zero, and the equation is true independent of the value of x.

    • @pituitlechat3807
      @pituitlechat3807 7 лет назад +1

      in fact I found that if c = e^(ln(a)ln(b)/ln(ab)) then log_a(x)+log_b(x)=log_c(x) for all x.
      And effectively c can be > a or b if a or b is

    e^(lnx/ln7+lnx/ln5)=e^(lnx/ln25)
    e^(lnx/ln7).e^(lnx/ln5)=x/25
    x/7.x/5=x/25
    x^2/35-x/25=0
    x(x/35-1/25)=0 either x=0 or

      Your mistake is:
      e^lnx/ln25 does not equal x/25
      and I see your confusion,
      In general: ln(a/b) = ln a - ln b
      But in your case it is (ln a/ln b)
      Which can be expressed as ln_b (a)
      But not a/b

    • @chasr1843
      @chasr1843 7 лет назад

      I tried substituting u = ln(x), x = e^u and du = dx/x ==> dx = e^u du
      then x*ln(x) becomes u*e^u and you have to integrate (u*e^u)^50 * e^u du = (u^50 * e^51u) du. You could try integrating by parts, but don't.
      Type the equation into wolfram alpha and notice their answer is some mess of a series that goes on until computation time gets exceeded.
      I suspect it's one of those integration-by-parts that keeps going around in circles, probably either 50 or 51 or infinity times.
      Are you sure you stated the problem correctly?

    • @OnTheThirdDay
      @OnTheThirdDay 7 лет назад

      Note that the wolfram alpha ugly expression:
      www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=int_0%5E1++(x*lnx)%5E(50)+dx
      is the indefinite integral in general.
      I would (on the basis of experience) distribute the power of 50 to both terms and try integrating by parts... try to find a pattern. Think about why the integral form 0 to 1 makes sense but in general it is really ugly.

    • @chasr1843
      @chasr1843 7 лет назад

      That's what I did David Herrera. I also put the definite integral into alpha. It's just a much of a mess. I also tried the integral with a power of 1 (easy) and 2 (annoying) and n. Doing it for n=50 looks hopeless to me unless you have been given a life sentence of solitary confinement in jail.
      The reason I transformed it before distributing the powers is I'm not sure what to do with (ln(x))^50 ( =/= ln(x^50) btw).

      @primthon9596 6 лет назад +5

      well because:

      = [log(7)log(25) + log(5)log(25) - log(5)log(7)] / [log(25)log(7)log(5)]
      So the numerator [log(7)log(25) + log(5)log(25) - log(5)log(7)] musst be 0.
      But log(7)log(25) + log(5)(log(25)-log(7)) > 0 because
      log(7)log(25) > 0 and log(25)-log(7) > 0
      and a positive plus a positive is still positive which can not be zero.

    You can show that 1/log sum is not 0 by using log 25 = 2 log 5, so that 1/log 5 - 1/log 25 = 1/log 25.
    Then you have a sum of two positive numbers.
