how do i solve for X in the following using common log in terms of Y:
1. y= (10^x+10^-x)/2
2. y= (10^x+10^-x)/(10^x-10^-x)
3.y= 0.5^x+1 < 32 < 0.25^x
4. (1/9)^x + (1/3)^x > 2
can you please give me a clear solution and explain how to solve each? Solve Website Scanning and Crawling Problems:: Jun 22, 2007 Solve broken links and broken redirects.

y = [ 10^x + 10^(-x) ] / 2
Let's solve for x.
First, multiply both sides by 2, to get
2y = 10^x + 10^(-x)
Express 10^(-x) as 1/10^x.
2y = 10^x + [1/10^x]
Multiply both sides by 10^x, to get Logarithms Through Applications:: File Format: PDF/Adobe Acrobat - View as HTMLYour browser may not have a PDF reader available.

2y (10^x) = (10^x)^2 + 1
Move everything to the right hand side.
0 = (10^x)^2 - 2y(10^x) + 1
Treat the exponent 10^x as a variable. For now we'll call it t.
0 = t^2 - 2y(t) + 1
Use the quadratic formula.
t = [ -(-2y) +/- sqrt( (-2y)^2 - 4(1)(1) ) ] / [ 2(1) ]
t = [ 2y +/- sqrt( 4y^2 - 4 ) ] / 2
t = [ 2y +/- sqrt(4(y^2 - 1)) ] / 2
t = [ 2y +/- 2sqrt(y^2 - 1) ] / 2
Cancel the 2,
t = y +/- sqrt(y^2 - 1)
BUT t = 10^x, so
10^x = y +/- sqrt(y^2 - 1)
And changing this to logarithmic form
x = log[base 10] ( y +/- sqrt(y^2 - 1) )
So as long as
y +/- sqrt(y^2 - 1) > 0
(i.e. defined for log)
we have a solution for x.
