Could someone tell me the rule for this?

OpenStudy (phi):

this question is a bit cryptic. the second line comes from taking the log base 2 of both sides of the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can't make heads nor tails out of it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe it means \(2^x=2\) OR \(2^x=1\) in which case \(x=1\) OR \(x=0\)

OpenStudy (gschibby):

It's just the end of a longer equation, but I didn't understand how 2^x=2 becomes x=1 :P

OpenStudy (gschibby):

Yup, the V stands for OR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok,then is it not obvious that if \(2^x=2\) then \(x=1\) ?

OpenStudy (gschibby):

I'm a little rusty on the "log"-rules :P
