Logx=Log2x^2-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log(x) = \log_{2}(x^2)-2\] Is this right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or: \[\log(x) = \log(2x^2)-2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's the second one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@eta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Subtract \(\log(x)\) from both the sides..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is x=50

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log(x) = \log(2x^2)-2 \\ \log(x)-\log(x) = \log(2x^2)-2-\log(x) \\ 0 = \log(2x^2)-\log(x)-2\] Add \(2\) both the sides now:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[0+2 = \log(2x^2)-\log(x)-2+2 \\2 = \log(2x^2)-\log(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now use property of logarithm: \[\log(a)-\log(b)=\log(\frac{a}{b})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So: \[2= \log(\frac{2x^2}{x}) \\ 2 = \log(2x)\\ 10^2 = 2x \\ \color{green}{x = 50}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good, yes you are right.. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much just wanted to make sure i was right
