Q. Solve for the exact value of x.2ln(2x−2)+12=8Answer:
Isolate logarithmic expression: Isolate the logarithmic expression.We start by subtracting 12 from both sides of the equation to isolate the logarithmic term.2ln(2x−2)+12−12=8−122ln(2x−2)=−4
Divide to solve ln term: Divide both sides by 2 to solve for the ln term.Divide both sides by 2 to isolate ln(2x−2).(2ln(2x−2))/2=−4/2ln(2x−2)=−2
Exponentiate to remove ln: Exponentiate both sides to remove the natural logarithm.We raise e to the power of both sides of the equation to remove the natural logarithm.eln(2x−2)=e−22x−2=e−2
Add to solve for 2x: Add 2 to both sides to solve for 2x.Add 2 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x.2x−2+2=e(−2)+22x=e(−2)+2
Divide to solve for x: Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x.Divide both sides by 2 to find the value of x.22x=2e(−2)+2x=2e(−2)+2
