Solve for $x$. Give any approximate results to three significant digits. Check your answers. $$\log \left(x^{2}-4\right)-1=\log (x+2)$$
Added by Matthew S.
Step 1
Step 1: Since both sides of the equation have logarithms, we can remove the logarithms by setting the arguments equal to each other: $$x^2 - 4 - 1 = x + 2$$ Show more…
