Solve for X plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x ^{\sqrt{x}}=\sqrt{x ^{x}}\]

OpenStudy (abb0t):

x= 1 and x = 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How i know the answer but how?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

use logs

OpenStudy (abb0t):

You could start by taking the natural log of both sides to make it easier.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahh i dont know much about logs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can u show it plzz?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

remember that \(ln(a^b)= b~ln(a)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (abb0t):

and also note: \(\large \sqrt{a} = a^\frac{1}{2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u show it step By step? PLzz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know Identities. just show how u solved it

OpenStudy (abb0t):

\(\large ln(x^{\sqrt{x}})= ln(\sqrt{x^x})\)

OpenStudy (abb0t):

you know the rules. apply them. I don't want to simply give you the answer, I will help you step-by-step. But I also want you to try it first :) This is a good problem.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Man i am not able to do it plzz help i beg you? I have forgot logs i studied them a year before

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Yes! You can do it! I am confident that you can do this! Trust me. I wouldn't be here if I didn't think you could do it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I actually i studied logs just for fun i am in 9 thgrade and will learn logs in 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i juyst remember identities nothing else

OpenStudy (abb0t):

\(\sqrt{x}~ln(x) = ln(x^{x+\frac{1}{2}})\) does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea

OpenStudy (abb0t):

I added the \(x+\frac{1}{2}\) to make it easier. Since you can simply add exponents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohk.

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Now, you try it from here. Add the \(x+\frac{1}{2}\) and move the exponent to the front of the ln like I did for the left side. REMEMBER: \(ln(a^n) = n~ln(a)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ACtually the problem is I am just able to do it till here after this i am stuck. I asked to solve it cause i thought i did this Wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

U dere?

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Yes. I'm here.
