Solve the following equations.
log3(x^2) = 4

x = 0.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

log₃(x²) = 1

Now,

From the properties of log

logₓ (z)=  (where the base of the log is equal for both numerator and the denominator)

also,

log(xⁿ) = n × log(x)

thus,

using the above properties, we can deduce the results as:

logₓ(y) = n is equivalent to y = xⁿ

therefore,

the given equation can be deduced as:

log₃(x²) = 1

or

2log₃(x) = 1

or

log₃(x) = 0.5

into,

x = 0.5³

or

x = 0.125

answer: the dogs need to shift their focus to human scent.

its because the dogs being trained are for search and rescue thus they need to be able to track humans and their specific scent
