Solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\ln \sqrt[4]{x}=\sqrt{\ln x}\]

hartnn (hartnn):

did u come upto this step using log properties ? ln x = 4 root (ln x)

hartnn (hartnn):

if yes, then put y=ln x and square both sides

hartnn (hartnn):

\( \ln \sqrt[n]x=(1/n)\ln x\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the original problem

hartnn (hartnn):

use this for left side and tell me what u get \(\ln \sqrt[n]x=(1/n)\ln x\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean use for that left side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's a fourth root by the way

hartnn (hartnn):

yeah, so n=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh I get what you mean. so 1/4(ln x)

hartnn (hartnn):

yes. now multiply 4 on both sides

hartnn (hartnn):

then put ln x =y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so y=4sqrt(y) ?

hartnn (hartnn):

yup, now square it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are the answers 1 and 10^16

hartnn (hartnn):

ln y = 0 or ln y=16 its ln , not log. y=1 is correct, but its not 10^16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right so e^16

hartnn (hartnn):

yes

hartnn (hartnn):

did u understand all steps ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes I did. thank you for your help

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^
