Surds and their properties

Very Important

$$a^m\times\ a^n=a^{m+n}$$

$$\frac{a^m\ \ }{a^n}\ =a^{m-n}$$

$$\left(a^m\right)^{^n}=a^{m\times\ n}$$

$$\left(a\times\ b\right)^m\ =a^m\times\ b^m$$

$$a^{-m}=\ \frac{1}{a^m}$$

$$a^{\frac{m}{n}}=\sqrt[\ n]{a^m}$$

Question 1

If $$5 - \log_{10}\sqrt{1 + x} + 4 \log_{10} \sqrt{1 - x} = \log_{10} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1 - x^2}}$$, then 100x equals

Question 2

If $$\log_{2}[3+\log_{3} \left\{4+\log_{4}(x-1) \right\}]-2=0$$ then 4x equals

Question 3

For a real number a, if $$\frac{\log_{15}{a}+\log_{32}{a}}{(\log_{15}{a})(\log_{32}{a})}=4$$ then a must lie in the range
