How to solve the equation log_(x) 5+log_(5) x=5/2 ? Precalculus 1 Answer Cem Sentin Jan 25, 2018 x_1=sqrt5 and x_2=25 Explanation: log_x5+log_5x=5/2 log_x5+1/log_x5=5/2 After using y=log_x5, this equation became y+1/y=5/2 (y^2+1)/y=5/2 2*(y^2+1)=5*y 2y^2+2=5y 2y^2-5y+2=0 (2y-1)*(y-2)=0 From this equation, y_1=1/2 and y_2=2 For y=2, log_x5=2 or x^2=5. So x_1=sqrt5 For y=1/2, log_x5=1/2 or x^(1/2)=5. So x_2=5^2=25 Answer link Related questions How do I determine the molecular shape of a molecule? What is the lewis structure for co2?
