Holi smokes, didn't think of that xD

Let x = lo g 2 m , then the equation can be written as x 2 + 3 x − 1 0 = 0 . The sum of the zeroes of a quadratic is the negative of the linear coefficient, so x 1 + x 2 = − 3 . The product of the corresponding m values is m 1 ⋅ m 2 = 2 x 1 + x 2 = 2 − 3 = 0 . 1 2 5 . Note that it is not even necessary to solve for the individual values of m or x ...
