2Log 1/2 = log(2x^2 - x)
Rewrite 1/2 as 2^(-1):
2Log 2^(-1) = log(2x^2 - x)
Apply the power rule of logarithms on the left side:
Log 2^(-2) = log(2x^2 - x)
Now we can drop the logarithms:
2^(-2) = 2x^2 - x
1/4 = 2x^2 - x
Rearrange the equation to set it equal to 0:
2x^2 - x - 1/4 = 0
Now solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:
x = [-(-1) ± sqrt((-1)^2 - 42(-1/4))] / 4x = [1 ± sqrt(1 + 2)] / 4x = [1 ± sqrt(3)] / 4
Therefore, the solutions to the equation are:
x = (1 + sqrt(3)) / 4x = (1 - sqrt(3)) / 4
2Log 1/2 = log(2x^2 - x)
Rewrite 1/2 as 2^(-1):
2Log 2^(-1) = log(2x^2 - x)
Apply the power rule of logarithms on the left side:
Log 2^(-2) = log(2x^2 - x)
Now we can drop the logarithms:
2^(-2) = 2x^2 - x
1/4 = 2x^2 - x
Rearrange the equation to set it equal to 0:
2x^2 - x - 1/4 = 0
Now solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula:
x = [-(-1) ± sqrt((-1)^2 - 42(-1/4))] / 4
x = [1 ± sqrt(1 + 2)] / 4
x = [1 ± sqrt(3)] / 4
Therefore, the solutions to the equation are:
x = (1 + sqrt(3)) / 4
x = (1 - sqrt(3)) / 4
