Tutorial - Solving logarithmic equations ex 16, log4(x+4)-log4(x)=log4(x+2)

The video tutorial explains how to solve a logarithmic equation by applying properties of logarithms, transforming it into a quadratic equation, and using the quadratic formula to find solutions. The instructor highlights the importance of identifying extraneous solutions, especially when dealing with logarithmic equations, and provides a step-by-step walkthrough of the process.

How do you apply the quadratic formula to solve for X in the equation derived from the logarithmic equation?

Why is the solution X = -2.56 considered extraneous in the context of logarithmic equations?
