In exercises 10 and 11 points b and d are points of tangency. find the values of x.

answer: -2+√x,-2-√x

i hope this , i don't know if you're looking for a pair or not.

step-by-step explanation:

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
