Solve ` sqrt(log(-x)) = log sqrt(x^(2)) `(base is 10).

Explanation

To solve the equation \( \sqrt{\log(-x)} = \log(\sqrt{x^2}) \) (with base 10), we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Simplify the right side
The expression \( \log(\sqrt{x^2}) \) can be simplified using the property of logarithms:
\[ \log(\sqrt{x^2}) = \log(x) \quad \text{(since } \sqrt{x^2} = |x| \text{)} \]
