Question 24
a.

Show that the equation 2log⁡2x=log⁡2(x+a)+32\log_2 x = \log_2(x + a) + 32log2​x=log2​(x+a)+3, can be expressed in the form x2−8x−8a=0x^2 - 8x - 8a = 0x2−8x−8a=0

b.

Given the equation 2log⁡2x=log⁡2(x+a)+32\log_2 x = \log_2(x + a) + 32log2​x=log2​(x+a)+3 has only one real root, find the possible values of aaa.
