log of x to base 2, quantity squared, minus 12 log of x to base 2 =-32, solve for x
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(log2 x)^2 - 12*log2 x + 32 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Keep the base in mind, then factor to get:
\n" ); document.write( "(log x - 4)(logx - 8) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "log2 x = 4 or log2 x = 8
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2^4 or x = 2^8
\n" ); document.write( "x = 16 or x = 256
\n" ); document.write( "======================
