log 4 (x) = sqrt(log 4 (x)) find x values

The first step is to eliminate the square root, and for
this reason, we'll raise to square, both sides of the
equation:


[log 4 (x)]^2 = [sqrt(log 4
(x))]^2


[log 4 (x)]^2 = log 4
(x)


We'll subtract log 4 (x) both
sides:


[log 4 (x)]^2 - log 4 (x) =
0


We'll use the substitution technique to solve the
equation:


log 4 (x) = t


t^2 -
t = 0


We'll factorize:


t(t-1)
= 0


t1 = 0


t-1 =
0


t2 = 1


log 4 (x) =
0


x = 4^0


x =
1


log 4 (x) = 1


x =
4^1


x = 4


The
solutions of the equation are: x1 = 1 and x2 = 4.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
