Question

Solve log x2 + 1 = 5. Round to the nearest thousandth if necessary.

Answer 1

log(x^2) = 2logx

Answer 2

What would x equal?

Answer 3

using the fact that
\[\log_ab=x\] can also be written as
\[a^x=b\]
\[\log x^2 +1 =5\]

Answer 4

is it
\[\log (x^2+1)=5\]or \[\log (x^2) + 1 =5\]??

Answer 5

The second one

Answer 6

\[\log (x^2)+1=5\]
\[\log (x^2)=4\]
using the fact i gave above..^ ^
\[x^2=10^4\]
\[x=\sqrt{10^4}\]
\[x=100\]
