Solve each equation. 3|log x|−6=0

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Start with the given equation: \(3|\log x| - 6 = 0\).
Isolate the absolute value expression by adding 6 to both sides: \(3|\log x| = 6\).
Divide both sides by 3 to solve for the absolute value: \(|\log x| = 2\).
Recall that \(|A| = B\) means \(A = B\) or \(A = -B\). So, set up two equations: \(\log x = 2\) and \(\log x = -2\).
Solve each equation for \(x\) by rewriting in exponential form: \(x = 10^2\) and \(x = 10^{-2}\).

Properties of Logarithms

Logarithms are the inverse operations of exponentiation. Understanding how to manipulate log expressions, such as log x, is essential. The domain of log x requires x to be positive, which affects the solution set of equations involving logarithms.

Absolute Value Equations

An absolute value equation like |log x| = k splits into two cases: log x = k and log x = -k. Solving both cases is necessary to find all possible solutions. Recognizing this helps in correctly handling equations involving absolute values.
