Problem 1: Solve the equation |5x - 3| = 7

To solve the absolute value equation \( |5x - 3| = 7 \), we will split it into two separate equations because the definition of absolute value states that \( |a| = b \) implies \( a = b \) or \( a = -b \).
1. Case 1:
\[
5x - 3 = 7
\]
Adding 3 to both sides gives:
\[
5x = 10
\]
Dividing by 5 yields:
\[
x = 2
\]
2. Case 2:
\[
5x - 3 = -7
\]
Adding 3 to both sides yields:
\[
5x = -4
\]
Dividing by 5 gives:
\[
x = -\frac{4}{5}
\]
Thus, the solutions are:
\[
x = 2 \quad \text{and} \quad x = -\frac{4}{5}
\]

Problem 2: Solve the inequality |3x + 7| < 2

To solve the absolute value inequality \( |3x + 7| < 2 \), we again split this into two cases:
1. Case 1:
\[
3x + 7 < 2
\]
Subtracting 7 from both sides gives:
\[
3x < -5
\]
Dividing by 3 yields:
\[
x < -\frac{5}{3}
\]
2. Case 2:
\[
3x + 7 > -2
\]
Subtracting 7 from both sides results in:
\[
3x > -9
\]
Dividing by 3 gives:
\[
x > -3
\]
Combining the results, the solution for the inequality is:
\[
-\frac{5}{3} < x < -3
\]
Interval notation: \((-3, -\frac{5}{3})\)

Problem 3: Function Composition

Let \( f(x) = \sqrt{x + 5} \) and \( g(x) = 3x \).

(a) Find \( (f \circ g)(x) \)

Using the definition of function composition:
\[
(f \circ g)(x) = f(g(x)) = f(3x)
\]
Substituting in \( g(x) \):
\[
f(3x) = \sqrt{3x + 5}
\]

(b) Find \( (g \circ f)(x) \)

Using the definition of function composition:
\[
(g \circ f)(x) = g(f(x)) = g(\sqrt{x + 5})
\]
Substituting in \( f(x) \):
\[
g(\sqrt{x + 5}) = 3\sqrt{x + 5}
\]

(c) Find \( (f \circ g)(3) \)

Substituting 3 into our earlier result from (a):
\[
(f \circ g)(3) = \sqrt{3(3) + 5} = \sqrt{9 + 5} = \sqrt{14}
\]

(d) Find \( (g \circ f)(4) \)

Substituting 4 into our earlier result from (b):
\[
(g \circ f)(4) = 3\sqrt{4 + 5} = 3\sqrt{9} = 3 \cdot 3 = 9
\]

Problem 4: Expand Logarithmic Equation

Expand \( \log_5 (A^3 B^2 C D) \):
Using the property of logarithms \( \log_b(xy) = \log_b(x) + \log_b(y) \) and \( \log_b(x^n) = n \log_b(x) \):
\[
\log_5 (A^3) + \log_5 (B^2) + \log_5 (C) + \log_5 (D)
\]
Thus,
\[
= 3 \log_5 (A) + 2 \log_5 (B) + \log_5 (C) + \log_5 (D)
\]

Problem 5: Solving Exponential Equations

(a) Solve \( 2^{x-1} = 2^{x+1} \)

Since the bases are the same, we equate the exponents:
\[
x - 1 = x + 1
\]
Solving for \( x \) by subtracting \( x \) from both sides:
\[
-1 = 1
\]
This leads to a contradiction; thus, there are no solutions.

(b) Solve \( 3^x = 4^{2x - 5} \)

Rewriting \( 4 \) as \( 2^2 \), we have:
\[
3^x = (2^2)^{2x - 5} = 2^{4x - 10}
\]
Taking the logarithm of both sides:
\[
x \log(3) = (4x - 10) \log(2)
\]
Expanding and rearranging gives:
\[
x \log(3) = 4x \log(2) - 10 \log(2)
\]
Bringing everything involving \( x \) to one side:
\[
x \log(3) - 4x \log(2) = -10 \log(2)
\]
Factoring \( x \) out:
\[
x(\log(3) - 4\log(2)) = -10 \log(2)
\]
Thus,
\[
x = \frac{-10 \log(2)}{\log(3) - 4\log(2)}
\]
This is the exact solution expressed in terms of logarithms.
