1. Problem Description

We are asked to simplify the expression log(1x)\log(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}). We will assume the logarithm is base
1
0.

2. Solution Steps

First, we can rewrite x\sqrt{x} as x12x^{\frac{1}{2}}. Therefore, 1x\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} can be rewritten as 1x12=x12\frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{2}}} = x^{-\frac{1}{2}}.
So we have log(x12)\log(x^{-\frac{1}{2}}).
Using the logarithm power rule, which states that log(ab)=blog(a)\log(a^b) = b \log(a), we can rewrite log(x12)\log(x^{-\frac{1}{2}}) as 12log(x)-\frac{1}{2} \log(x).

3. Final Answer

The simplified expression is 12log(x)-\frac{1}{2} \log(x).
