    Find the value of x which satisfies the relation \[\mathbf{lo}{{\mathbf{g}}_{\mathbf{10}}}\mathbf{2+lo}{{\mathbf{g}}_{\mathbf{10}}}\mathbf{(4x+1)=lo}{{\mathbf{g}}_{\mathbf{10}}}\mathbf{(x+1)+1}\]

    A)  4                                

    B)  -4

    C)  1/4                              

    D)  not defined

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (b): \[\text{lo}{{\text{g}}_{10}}2+\text{lo}{{\text{g}}_{10}}\left( 4x+1 \right)=\text{lo}{{\text{g}}_{10}}\left( x+1 \right)+1\] \[\Leftrightarrow \text{lo}{{\text{g}}_{10}}2+\text{lo}{{\text{g}}_{10}}\left( 4x+1 \right)=\text{lo}{{\text{g}}_{10}}\left( x+1 \right)+{{\log }_{10}}10\] \[\Leftrightarrow \text{lo}{{\text{g}}_{10}}\left[ 2\left( 4x+1 \right) \right]=\text{lo}{{\text{g}}_{10}}\left[ 10\left( x+1 \right) \right]\] \[\Leftrightarrow 2\left( 4x+1 \right)=10\left( x+1 \right)\Leftrightarrow 10x+2\] \[=8x+10\Leftrightarrow 2x=-8\Leftrightarrow x=-4\] When it is putting \[x=-4\]than log\[\left( x+1 \right)\] is not defined
