What is the true solution to the logarithmic equation?
log₂[log₂ (√4x)] = 1
1 answer:
Note that
•
is defined as long as ![x\ge0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%5Cge0)
•
is defined as long as ![x>0](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%3E0)
•
is defined as long as
![\log_2(x) > 0 \implies 2^{\log_2(x)} > 2^0 \implies x > 1](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clog_2%28x%29%20%3E%200%20%5Cimplies%202%5E%7B%5Clog_2%28x%29%7D%20%3E%202%5E0%20%5Cimplies%20x%20%3E%201)
so that overall, any solution to this equation must be larger than 1.
In the equation itself, introduce powers of 2 and squares to eliminate the logarithms and square root. Solve for
.
