equation: log[3] (x^2 +1) = 2

OpenStudy (turingtest):

what is the inverse of the log operation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

log[3] x(^2) + 1 = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what im trying to say is that the only exponent is 2

OpenStudy (turingtest):

to do that we need to do something to get rid of the log on the right to get rid of a log base b, we do the following:\[\large b^{\log_3x}=x\]so we will raise the base to the power of both sides if the log is not by itself on one side of the equals sign, get it that way first

OpenStudy (turingtest):

sorry typo above*\[\huge b^{\log_bx}=x\]
