Problem
What is the product of all solutions to the equation
![\[\log_{7x}2023\cdot \log_{289x}2023=\log_{2023x}2023\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/4/4/b/44b223caebbcdf31d72ebe8a7c0a02579fc1b63a.png)
Solution 1
For 
, transform it into 
. Replace 
with 
. Because we want to find the product of all solutions of 
, it is equivalent to finding the sum of all solutions of . Change the equation to standard quadratic equation form, the term with 1 power of is canceled. By using Vieta, we see that since there does not exist a 
term, 
and 
.

Solution 2 (Same idea as Solution 1 with easily understand steps)
Rearranging it give us:
![\[\log_{2023}7x\cdot \log_{2023}289x=\log_{2023}2023x\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/4/e/c/4ecd9259355ae2da41b0be8d462acfc512f7c93c.png)
![\[(\log_{2023}7+\log_{2023}x)(\log_{2023}289+\log_{2023}x)=(\log_{2023}2023+\log_{2023}x)\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/9/1/1/911eb664521597afdf7542f30f914abff35a09d2.png)
let 
be 
, we get
![\[(\log_{2023}7+a)(\log_{2023}289+a)=1+a\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/0/9/9/0997e4c0a5e53d123efec9f18a25b4a18fce7cf0.png)
![\[a^2+(\log_{2023}7+\log_{2023}289)a+\log_{2023}7 \cdot \log_{2023}289=1+a\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/9/d/d/9dd33a7ee2dc9e0ddc02efd459c3f2414f01e9df.png)
![\[a^2+\log_{2023}7 \cdot \log_{2023}289-1=0\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/d/e/8dea6c0706093a18b3df6296da809de441a7e0d0.png)
by Vieta's Formulas,
![\[a_1+a_2=0\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/9/3/c93650e559bb0c8a06f07a30e8c91989a28404b7.png)
![\[\log_{2023}{x_1}+\log_{2023}{x_2}=0\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/d/b/a/dbacf135836e96d33b8e1a1d9ba1b4cc10e16307.png)
