Solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge x^{2} . \log ^{5}_{10}x = 100\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Directrix @ganeshie8 @Miracrown @wio @perl

OpenStudy (perl):

should that say x^2 * log x^5 = 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes very much

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

x=10 by inspection but you want it by working hard ok

OpenStudy (perl):

this might be a non linear equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah might be

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[ \large x^{2} \cdot \log ^{5}_{10}x = 100 \] \[ \large x^{2/5}\cdot \log_{10}x = 100^{1/5} \] \[ \large \log_{10}x^{x^{2/5}} = 100^{1/5} \] \[ \large x^{x^{2/5}} = {10^{100}}^{1/5} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

reading

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large x^{x^{2/5}} = 10^{{(10^2)}^{1/5}}\] \[\large x^{x^{2/5}} = 10^{10^{2/5}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large x^x = 10^{10}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

;) and just keepin mind we have worked it loosely w/o worrying too much about missing other solutions or domain restrictions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the only domain restriction can be that x cannot be <0 etc etc

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i hope so..
