log (x^2 - 2x + 3) = 3
I need to solve for x and don't even know how to begin to do so. First correct answer with work gets best answer right away!

First apply the definition of log: logB(A)= C -> B^C= A
log (x^2 - 2x + 3) = 3... This is base 10
10^3= x^2-2x+3
0= x^2 -2x -997
Since it does not factor, use quadratic formula:
X= 32.6 or -30.6
Be sure to check with logs.
Hoping this helps!
