2ln(x+1/2)=ln(1/4)
\n" ); document.write( "ln(x+1/2)^2-ln(1/4)=0
\n" ); document.write( "place under single ln
\n" ); document.write( "ln((x+1/2)^2)/(1/4)=0
\n" ); document.write( "convert to exponential form: base(e) raised to ln of number(0)=number(x+1/2)^2)/(1/4)
\n" ); document.write( "e^0=(x+1/2)^2)/(1/4)=1
\n" ); document.write( "(x+1/2)^2)=(1/4)
\n" ); document.write( "take sqrt of both sides
\n" ); document.write( "x+1/2=ą1/2
\n" ); document.write( "x=0
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "x=-1 (reject, (x+1/2)>0 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
