Solve for x log 3 (2x+3) -1 = 0.

We'll start by imposing the constraints of existance of
logarithm
function.


2x+3>0


We'll
add -3 both
sides:


2x>-3


We'll
divide by
2:


x>-3/2


So, for the
logarithms to exist, the values of x have to belong to the interval (-3/2,
+inf.)


We'll shift the free term to the right
side:


 log 3 (2x+3) = 1


We'll
create matching bases to the right side.


 log 3 (2x+3)
=  log 3 (3)


Now, because the bases are
matching, we'll apply the one to one
property:


2x+3 = 3


We'll
eliminate like terms:


2x =
3-3


2x = 0


We'll divide by
2:


x = 0 >
-3/2


Since the value for x belongs to the
interval (-3/2,+inf.), the solution is valid.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
