(a) log ( x +1) ( x + x - 6) = 4

(b) 5(log10 x ) - 3(log10 x )- 1 = 3(log10 x ) +1 - 5(log10 x )- 1.

(c) x + log10 (1 + 2 x ) = x.log10 5 + log10 6.

Show that, 8.log a x 3 .log b y 3 .log c z 3 = 27, where a = y 2 , b = z 2 , c = x 2 .

3.

Solve for x, log 5 120 + ( x - 3) - 2 log 5 (1- 5 x- 3 ) = - log 5 (0.2 - 5 x- 4 ).

If a = log12 18; b = log 24 54, then find the value of ab + 5(a - b).

7.

If x = 1 + log a bc; y = 1 + log b ca; z = 1 + log c ab, then prove that xyz = xy + yz + zx.

8.

If p = log a bc, q = logb ca; r = log c ab, then prove that pqr = p + q + r + 2.
