log x^2 = 15 + log 10

We could write 15 = 15*1 = 15*log
10


log x^2 = log 10 + 15*log
10


We'll factorize:


log x^2 =
log 10*(1+15)


log x^2 = 16*log
10


We'll use the power property of
logarithms:


log x^2 = log
10^16


We'll use the one to one property and we'll
get:


x^2 = 10^16


x1 = +sqrt
10^16


x1 = +10^8


x2 =
-10^8


For log x^2 to exist, x>0, so
the equation will have only one solution, namely x =
+10^8

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...
