The equation to be solved is log(3) x^2 + log(9) x =
2
Use the following properties of
logarithms
log a^b = b*log a , log a + log b = log a*b and
log (b) c = log(a)c / log(a)b
log(3) x^2 + log(9) x =
2
=> log(3) x^2 + log(3) x / log(3) 9 =
2
=> log(3) x^2 + log(3) x / log(3) 3^2 =
2
=> log(3) x^2 + log(3) x^(1/2) =
2
=> log(3) x^2*x^(1/2) =
2
=> log(3) x^(5/2) =
2
=> x^(5/2) =
9
=> x =
9^(2/5)
=> x = 2.4082 (
approximately)
The solution of the equation
is x = 2.4082
