The problem involves solving a logarithmic equation of the form log2(x^3) - 3 = 2log2(x). Participants are exploring the properties of logarithms in relation to this equation.
The discussion includes attempts to manipulate the logarithmic equation, with some participants providing guidance on how to rearrange the terms. There is an indication of a potential solution being proposed, but no consensus on the approach has been reached.
Participants are working within the constraints of the homework problem, with no additional equations provided. There is a lack of explicit consensus on the steps to take, and some assumptions about logarithmic properties are being questioned.
That's a good start. Then move all your log terms to one side and add 3 to both sides.tpent said:Homework Statement
log2(x3)-3= 2log2x

None
The Attempt at a Solution
Do I start by expanding the x to the power 3 to the log which then makes it 3log2x? or am I totally off track?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
