Correct answer: 8

  1. Interpret the equations carefully

We are given a=32,b=151/66a=3\sqrt{2},\qquad b=\frac{1}{5^{1/6}\sqrt{6}}a=32​,b=51/66​1​ and 3x+2y=log⁡a(185/4),3x+2y=\log_a\left(18^{5/4}\right),3x+2y=loga​(185/4), 2x−y=log⁡b(1080).2x-y=\log_b(\sqrt{1080}).2x−y=logb​(1080​).

We need to find 4x+5y.4x+5y.4x+5y.


  1. Simplify the first logarithm

Since a=32=18=181/2,a=3\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{18}=18^{1/2},a=32​=18​=181/2, we get log⁡a(185/4)=log⁡181/2(185/4).\log_a\left(18^{5/4}\right)=\log_{18^{1/2}}\left(18^{5/4}\right).loga​(185/4)=log181/2​(185/4).

Using log⁡mp(mq)=qp,\log_{m^p}(m^q)=\frac{q}{p},logmp​(mq)=pq​, we have log⁡181/2(185/4)=5/41/2=52.\log_{18^{1/2}}\left(18^{5/4}\right)=\frac{5/4}{1/2}=\frac{5}{2}.log181/2​(185/4)=1/25/4​=25​.

So the first equation becomes 3x+2y=\frac{5}{2}.\tag{1}


  1. Simplify the second logarithm

First simplify bbb: b=151/66=5−1/6⋅6−1/2.b=\frac{1}{5^{1/6}\sqrt{6}}=5^{-1/6}\cdot 6^{-1/2}.b=51/66​1​=5−1/6⋅6−1/2.

Now simplify 1080\sqrt{1080}1080​: 1080=36⋅30,1080=36\cdot 30,1080=36⋅30, so 1080=630=65⋅6=6⋅51/261/2=51/261.\sqrt{1080}=6\sqrt{30}=6\sqrt{5\cdot 6}=6\cdot 5^{1/2}6^{1/2}=5^{1/2}6^{1}.1080​=630​=65⋅6​=6⋅51/261/2=51/261.

Also note b−6=(5−1/66−1/2)−6=5163=5⋅216=1080.b^{-6}=(5^{-1/6}6^{-1/2})^{-6}=5^1 6^3=5\cdot 216=1080.b−6=(5−1/66−1/2)−6=5163=5⋅216=1080. Hence b−3=1080.b^{-3}=\sqrt{1080}.b−3=1080​.

Therefore, log⁡b(1080)=log⁡b(b−3)=−3.\log_b(\sqrt{1080})=\log_b(b^{-3})=-3.logb​(1080​)=logb​(b−3)=−3.

So the second equation becomes 2x-y=-3.\tag{2}


  1. Solve the linear system

From (2), y=2x+3.y=2x+3.y=2x+3.

Substitute into (1): 3x+2(2x+3)=523x+2(2x+3)=\frac{5}{2}3x+2(2x+3)=25​ 3x+4x+6=523x+4x+6=\frac{5}{2}3x+4x+6=25​ 7x=52−6=5−122=−727x=\frac{5}{2}-6=\frac{5-12}{2}=-\frac{7}{2}7x=25​−6=25−12​=−27​ x=−12.x=-\frac{1}{2}.x=−21​.

Then y=2(−12)+3=−1+3=2.y=2\left(-\frac12\right)+3=-1+3=2.y=2(−21​)+3=−1+3=2.


  1. Compute 4x+5y4x+5y4x+5y

4x+5y=4(−12)+5(2)=−2+10=8.4x+5y=4\left(-\frac12\right)+5(2)=-2+10=8.4x+5y=4(−21​)+5(2)=−2+10=8.


  1. Compare with stored answer

Derived answer is 8,8,8, which matches the stored correct answer.
