Question 1
If $$\log_4m + \log_4n = \log_2(m + n)$$ where m and n are positive real numbers, then which of the following must be true?
Solution
$$\log_4mn=\log_2(m+n)$$
$$\sqrt{\ mn}=(m+n)$$
Squarring on both sides
$$m^2+n^2+mn\ =\ 0$$
Since m, n are positive real numbers, no value of m and n satisfy the above equations.
