Question

solve logx - 1/2log(x+4) = 1

Answer 1

rewrite as log(x/sqrt(x+4))=1

Answer 2

then solve















x/(sqrt(x + 4) = 10

Answer 3

oops latex is not working sorry

Answer 4

go to x = 10 * sqrt(x + 4)
i assume the base of the log is ten

Answer 5

Yeah, it is. But how did 1 go to ten, and how did you get rid of the log?

Answer 6

because of the log base ten of x is y, then y is equal to ten to the power of x
they mean the same thing

Answer 7

log (x) = y means 10^y = x
you should be able to switch back and forth quickly

Answer 8

especially if you hate precalc.
it will not make it better, just easier to cope with

Answer 9

Logarithms just throw me for a loop. I think I understand that. Where would I go from x = 10 * sqrt(x + 4) ?

Answer 10

I feel dumb, but at least I get it now.
