Question Number 227192 by gregori last updated on 05/Jan/26

    x^(log 2x)  = 5 ⇒x= ?

$$\:\:\:\:{x}^{\mathrm{log}\:\mathrm{2}{x}} \:=\:\mathrm{5}\:\Rightarrow{x}=\:? \\ $$

  ln(x^(ln(2x)) )=ln(5)  ln(2x)ln(x)=ln(5)  [ln(2)+ln(x)]ln(x)=ln(5)  ln^2 (x)+ln(2)ln(x)−ln(5)=0    ∴ ln(x)=((−ln(2)±(√(ln^2 (2)−4×1×−ln(5))))/(2×1))    ln(x)=((−ln(2)±(√(ln^2 (2)+4ln(5))))/2)  ⇔ x=e^((−ln(2)±(√(ln^2 (2)+4ln(5))))/2)

A logarithm without base is assumed as log_(10) .  x^(log(2x))  = 5  log(2x)log(x) = log(5)  log(x)[log(2)+log(x)] = log(5)  log(2)log(x)+log^2 (x) = log(5)  log^2 (x) + log(2)log(x)−log(5) = 0  log(x) = ((−log(2)±(√(log^2 (2)+4log(5))))/2)  log(x) = ((−log(2)+(√(log^2 (2)+4log(5))))/2)  x = 10^((−log(2)+(√(log^2 (2)+4log(5))))/2)  = 5

$$\mathrm{A}\:\mathrm{logarithm}\:\mathrm{without}\:\mathrm{base}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{assumed}\:\mathrm{as}\:\mathrm{log}_{\mathrm{10}} . \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{2x}\right)} \:=\:\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{2x}\right)\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{5}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)\left[\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)+\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)\right]\:=\:\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{5}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)+\mathrm{log}^{\mathrm{2}} \left(\mathrm{x}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{5}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{log}^{\mathrm{2}} \left(\mathrm{x}\right)\:+\:\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)−\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{5}\right)\:=\:\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)\:=\:\frac{−\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)\pm\sqrt{\mathrm{log}^{\mathrm{2}} \left(\mathrm{2}\right)+\mathrm{4log}\left(\mathrm{5}\right)}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)\:=\:\frac{−\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)+\sqrt{\mathrm{log}^{\mathrm{2}} \left(\mathrm{2}\right)+\mathrm{4log}\left(\mathrm{5}\right)}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{x}\:=\:\mathrm{10}^{\frac{−\mathrm{log}\left(\mathrm{2}\right)+\sqrt{\mathrm{log}^{\mathrm{2}} \left(\mathrm{2}\right)+\mathrm{4log}\left(\mathrm{5}\right)}}{\mathrm{2}}} \:=\:\mathrm{5} \\ $$
