There exist real numbers and , both greater than 1, such that . Find .
Solution 1
By properties of logarithms, we can simplify the given equation to . Let us break this into two separate equations: \begin{align*} x\log_xy&=10 \\ 4y\log_yx&=10. \\ \end{align*} We multiply the two equations to get:
Also by properties of logarithms, we know that ; thus, . Therefore, our equation simplifies to:
