How do you solve #log x^2+1=5#? Precalculus Solving Exponential and Logarithmic Equations Logarithmic Models 1 Answer Bdub Mar 21, 2016 #x=100# Explanation: #log x^2 +1 =5# #logx^2=4#-> subtract 1 from both sides #2logx=4#->Use property #log_bx^n=n*log_b x# #log x=2#-> divide both sides by 2 #10^2=x#->use property #y=log_bx iff b^y=x# #x=100# Answer link Related questions What is a logarithmic model?
