Question Statement:

The value of $x$ satisfying the equation $x^{\log_{10} x} = 100x$ (with $x > 1$) is:

Answer Key:

100

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Taking $\log_{10}$ on both sides: $(\log_{10} x)^2 = \log_{10}(100x) = 2 + \log_{10} x$. Let $y = \log_{10} x$. $y^2 - y - 2 = 0 \implies (y - 2)(y + 1) = 0$. For $x > 1$, $y = 2 \implies x = 10^2 = 100$.
