How can I solve for x in this equation:
ln(x) + ln(x-1) = 1

Answer 1

\[\ln x \left( x-1 \right)=1\]

Answer 2

For left side of a equation, you can apply this property:\[\log(a)+\log(b) = \log(ab)\]

Answer 3

I know that it first simplifies to

\[\ln (x(x-1))=1\]

and then to...

\[x(x-1)=e\]

Answer 4

solve the quadratic

Answer 5
