Explanation:
"using the "color(blue)"law of logarithms"
•color(white)(x)log_b x=nhArrx=b^n
log_b a=1/xrArra=b^(1/x)
log_a b^(1/2)=3x^2rArrb^(1/2)=a^(3x^2)
"substitute "a=b^(1/x)" into "a^(3x^2)
b^(1/2)=(b^(1/x))^(3x^2)=b^(3x)
"we have "b^(1/2)=b^(3x)
3x=1/2
"divide both sides by 3"
x=(1/2)/3=1/6
Explanation:
So
Now

We will start the proof
Explanation:
We have
and
so
using the first equation we get
multiplying by
