Solution

The image contains a mathematical problem that asks to find the value of xx for the equation:

log(x2)=4\log(x - 2) = 4

We can solve this step by step.

Step 1: Rewrite the logarithmic equation

Using the property of logarithms, logb(a)=c\log_b(a) = c implies that a=bca = b^c, where bb is the base of the logarithm. Here, the base is assumed to be 10 since it's not specified (common logarithm).

Thus:

x2=104x - 2 = 10^4

Step 2: Solve for xx

x2=10,000x - 2 = 10,000

Add 2 to both sides:

x=10,000+2=10,002x = 10,000 + 2 = 10,002

However, the available answer choices do not include x=10,002x = 10,002, which suggests there might be a typo or mistake in the problem setup or options.
