For problem 1: log(x^3) = (log(x))^2 log(x^3) = y^2 <---Substitute y=log(x) on right side 3*log(x) = y^2 <----- You said log(b^a) = a.log(b), so that's what I applied. 3*y = y^2 <----- substitute y=log(x) on left side 3 = y <----divide both sides by y 3...

Homework Statement Problem 1: Solve log(x^3) = (log(x))^2 for x. Note, there are two solutions, A and B, where A < B. A = ? B = ? Problem 2: Rewrite the expression 2log(x)-2log(x^2+1)+4log(x-1) as a single logarithm log A. A = ? 2. The attempt at a solution Problem 1 Attempt: I...
