Full solution

Q. Solve for a positive value of x x .\newlinelogx(4)=2 \log _{x}(4)=2 \newlineAnswer:
  1. Understand Equation: Understand the given logarithmic equation.\newlineThe equation logx(4)=2\log_{x}(4) = 2 means that xx raised to the power of 22 equals 44.
  2. Convert to Exponential Form: Convert the logarithmic equation to its exponential form.\newlineUsing the definition of a logarithm, we can rewrite the equation as x2=4x^2 = 4.
  3. Solve for x: Solve the exponential equation for x.\newlineTo find xx, we take the square root of both sides of the equation. The square root of 44 is 22, so x=2x = 2.
  4. Check Restrictions: Check for any restrictions and whether the solution is positive.\newlineSince we are looking for a positive value of xx and 22 is positive, our solution meets the criteria.
