Question
Solve \((\log_2 m)^2 - \log_2 m^3 = 10\).
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Let y = log₂ m. Then log₂ m³ = 3 log₂ m = 3y. Equation becomes y² - 3y = 10 => y² - 3y - 10 = 0 => (y-5)(y+2)=0 => y=5 or y=-2. So m = 2⁵ = 32 or m = 2⁻² = 1/4.
Hint
Substitute y = log₂ m to form a quadratic.
