use the fact that the sum of the logs is equal to the log of the product.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Tell me what you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well since its all equal to one i would say one. but I'm not sure if that is an educated guess or if that is the correct way to derive the answer

OpenStudy (mertsj):

log a + log b = log ab

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Just work with the left side first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I've done that using the multiplicative rule and now i have log_3_(2x^2+x)=1

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Excellent!!

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Now. What is the base?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Great. What is the exponent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 so can i move that exponent out in front?
