Solution
20092010x=(2009)logx(2010)
Taking log to the base 10 on both sides, log(20092010)+logx=logx(2010)log(2009) −[log2010−log2009]+logx=log2010logxlog2009 (logx)2−[log2010−log2009]logx−log2010log2009=0
The obtained equation is an quadratic equation in logx logx=log2010−log2009±√(log2010−log2009)2+4(log2010log2009)2 logx=log2010−log2009±√(log2010+log2009)22 logx=log2010−log2009±(log2010+log2009)2 logx=log2010,logx=−log2009
Simplifying further, ⇒x=2010,logx=log(2009)−1 ⇒x=(2009)−1 Products of roots=mn=20102009 m+n=2010+2009 =4019
