Logarithmic Evaluation
1. We need to evaluate the expression $$\frac{2 + \log_2 3}{1 + \log_2 3} + \frac{3 + \log_3 4}{1 + \log_3 2}$$.
2. First, let's analyze the first fraction:
$$\frac{2 + \log_2 3}{1 + \log_2 3}$$.
We can rewrite the numerator as $$1 + 1 + \log_2 3$$ to see if it helps.
3. Notice that $$\log_2 3$$ and $$1$$ are common in numerator and denominator:
Numerator: $$2 + \log_2 3 = 1 + (1 + \log_2 3)$$
Denominator: $$1 + \log_2 3$$.
Therefore, the fraction becomes:
$$\frac{1 + (1 + \log_2 3)}{1 + \log_2 3} = 1 + \frac{1}{1 + \log_2 3}$$.
4. Now for the second fraction:
$$\frac{3 + \log_3 4}{1 + \log_3 2}$$.
Rewrite $$3$$ as $$1 + 2$$:
$$3 + \log_3 4 = 1 + 2 + \log_3 4$$.
Group terms:
$$1 + (2 + \log_3 4)$$.
5. Notice that:
$$\log_3 4 = \log_3 (2^2) = 2 \log_3 2$$.
Therefore:
$$2 + \log_3 4 = 2 + 2 \log_3 2 = 2(1 + \log_3 2)$$.
6. Substitute back:
$$\frac{3 + \log_3 4}{1 + \log_3 2} = \frac{1 + 2(1 + \log_3 2)}{1 + \log_3 2} = \frac{1 + 2 \cdot (1 + \log_3 2)}{1 + \log_3 2}$$.
Split the fraction:
$$= \frac{1}{1 + \log_3 2} + \frac{2 (1 + \log_3 2)}{1 + \log_3 2} = \frac{1}{1 + \log_3 2} + 2$$.
7. Now the original expression is:
$$1 + \frac{1}{1 + \log_2 3} + \frac{1}{1 + \log_3 2} + 2 = 3 + \frac{1}{1 + \log_2 3} + \frac{1}{1 + \log_3 2}$$.
8. Use the property of logarithms base change:
$$\log_3 2 = \frac{1}{\log_2 3}$$.
Define $$x = \log_2 3$$ so:
$$1 + \log_3 2 = 1 + \frac{1}{x} = \frac{x + 1}{x}$$.
Similarly:
$$\frac{1}{1 + \log_3 2} = \frac{1}{\frac{x + 1}{x}} = \frac{x}{x + 1}$$.
And:
$$\frac{1}{1 + \log_2 3} = \frac{1}{1 + x}$$.
9. Substitute back:
$$3 + \frac{1}{1 + x} + \frac{x}{x + 1} = 3 + \frac{1}{1 + x} + \frac{x}{1 + x} = 3 + \frac{1 + x}{1 + x} = 3 + 1 = 4$$.
**Final answer:**
$$4$$
