OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[\log_{10}(x^2+1)=5 \]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

OR \[\log_{10}(x^2) +1 =5\]

whats the answer given ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 100 but i need to know how to get that sep by step @Mertsj there is no 10 in the equation.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The 10 is the base. If the base is not written, it is understood to be 10. Which form of the equation is the correct one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the second one

OpenStudy (mertsj):

1. Subtract 1 from both sides. 2. Put the equation into it's exponential form. 3. Take the square root of both sides.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then it would be 100 right?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

yes
