1. Problem Description

We need to solve three separate problems:

1. Solve the logarithmic equation $\log_2 x + \log_x 4 = 3$.

2. Solve the exponential equation $9^{x+1} - 10\cdot3^x + 1 = 0$.

3. Express the fraction $\frac{3\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}}$ in the form $\frac{\sqrt{m}}{\sqrt{n}}$, where $m$ and $n$ are whole numbers.

2. Solution Steps

Problem 1: log2x+logx4=3\log_2 x + \log_x 4 = 3
We can use the change of base formula:
logx4=log24log2x=2log2x\log_x 4 = \frac{\log_2 4}{\log_2 x} = \frac{2}{\log_2 x}.
Let y=log2xy = \log_2 x. Then the equation becomes
y+2y=3y + \frac{2}{y} = 3.
Multiplying by yy, we get
y2+2=3yy^2 + 2 = 3y.
y23y+2=0y^2 - 3y + 2 = 0.
(y1)(y2)=0(y-1)(y-2) = 0.
So, y=1y=1 or y=2y=2.
If y=1y=1, then log2x=1\log_2 x = 1, so x=21=2x = 2^1 = 2.
If y=2y=2, then log2x=2\log_2 x = 2, so x=22=4x = 2^2 = 4.
Therefore, x=2x=2 or x=4x=4.
Problem 2: 9x+1103x+1=09^{x+1} - 10\cdot3^x + 1 = 0
We can rewrite the equation as
9x91103x+1=09^x \cdot 9^1 - 10\cdot3^x + 1 = 0
9(3x)2103x+1=09\cdot (3^x)^2 - 10\cdot3^x + 1 = 0
Let y=3xy = 3^x. Then the equation becomes
9y210y+1=09y^2 - 10y + 1 = 0
(9y1)(y1)=0(9y-1)(y-1) = 0
So, 9y1=09y-1=0 or y1=0y-1=0.
If 9y1=09y-1=0, then y=19y = \frac{1}{9}. Thus, 3x=19=323^x = \frac{1}{9} = 3^{-2}, so x=2x=-2.
If y1=0y-1=0, then y=1y = 1. Thus, 3x=1=303^x = 1 = 3^0, so x=0x=0.
Therefore, x=0x=0 or x=2x=-2.
Problem 3: 323232\frac{3\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}}
We can rationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator, which is 23+22\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}:
32323223+223+2=(323)(23+2)(232)(23+2)\frac{3\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2}} \cdot \frac{2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2}} = \frac{(3\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{3})(2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})}{(2\sqrt{3} - \sqrt{2})(2\sqrt{3} + \sqrt{2})}
=32(23)+32(2)3(23)3(2)4(3)2=66+666122=5610=62=64= \frac{3\sqrt{2}(2\sqrt{3}) + 3\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2}) - \sqrt{3}(2\sqrt{3}) - \sqrt{3}(\sqrt{2})}{4(3) - 2} = \frac{6\sqrt{6} + 6 - 6 - \sqrt{6}}{12 - 2} = \frac{5\sqrt{6}}{10} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{4}}
So m=6m=6 and n=4n=4.

3. Final Answer

1. $x = 2$ or $x = 4$

2. $x = 0$ or $x = -2$

3. $\frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{4}}$
