The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( \sqrt{2009} \cdot x^{\log_{2009}(x)} = x^2 \), we will follow a systematic approach to simplify and find the roots. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Take logarithm on both sides**: \[ \log_{2009}(\sqrt{2009} \cdot x^{\log_{2009}(x)}) = \log_{2009}(x^2) \] 2. **Apply the properties of logarithms**: Using the product property of logarithms, we can split the left-hand side: \[ \log_{2009}(\sqrt{2009}) + \log_{2009}(x^{\log_{2009}(x)}) = \log_{2009}(x^2) \] 3. **Simplify each term**: - The first term can be simplified: \[ \log_{2009}(\sqrt{2009}) = \log_{2009}(2009^{1/2}) = \frac{1}{2} \] - The second term can be simplified using the power property: \[ \log_{2009}(x^{\log_{2009}(x)}) = \log_{2009}(x) \cdot \log_{2009}(x) \] - The right-hand side simplifies to: \[ \log_{2009}(x^2) = 2 \log_{2009}(x) \] 4. **Combine the simplified terms**: Now we can rewrite the equation: \[ \frac{1}{2} + (\log_{2009}(x))^2 = 2 \log_{2009}(x) \] 5. **Rearrange into a standard quadratic form**: Let \( y = \log_{2009}(x) \). The equation becomes: \[ y^2 - 2y + \frac{1}{2} = 0 \] 6. **Use the quadratic formula to find \( y \)**: The quadratic formula is given by: \[ y = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] Here, \( a = 1, b = -2, c = \frac{1}{2} \): \[ y = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot \frac{1}{2}}}{2 \cdot 1} = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{4 - 2}}{2} = \frac{2 \pm \sqrt{2}}{2} = 1 \pm \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} \] 7. **Convert back to \( x \)**: Since \( y = \log_{2009}(x) \): \[ x_1 = 2009^{1 + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}}, \quad x_2 = 2009^{1 - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}} \] 8. **Find the product of the roots**: The product of the roots \( x_1 \cdot x_2 \) is given by: \[ x_1 \cdot x_2 = 2009^{(1 + \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}) + (1 - \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2})} = 2009^{2} \] ### Final Answer: The product of the positive roots of the equation is: \[ \boxed{2009^2} \]
