1/2log(low8)x=3log(low8)3

Question

anonymous · Answer

kk hold on a second,

anonymous · Answer

so ur trying to solve for x?

anonymous · Answer

yes!!!!

anonymous · Answer

mk, the answer is pretty simple(if im doing this correctly)

give me a min to write it out in equation form

anonymous · Answer

$$1/2 \log_{8} x = 3\log_{8} 3$$
whic$$x = \sqrt{9}$$h becomes
$$\log_{8} \sqrt{x}  = \log_{8} 3^{3}$$
since any value to the exponent 1/2 is a square root.
now drop the log 8 and it gives you
$$\sqrt{x} = 9$$
where 

$$x = \sqrt{9}$$
therefore, x = 3

wow my whole message got fluttered up. hold on

anonymous · Answer

k well im not gonna rewrite it ignore the square root 9 at the top.
what u need ot grasp is by following logarithm rules, you know that the values in front of the logaritms become exponent of values after log. therefore x ^ 1/2 is simply square root of x and on the other side 3^3 is 9.



actually i think i made a mistake, when u get rid of the sqrt root u square both sides, so x is actually equal to 9^2, which is 81.

hope it helps.

the answer was 729 ?! oh well i alreaody its already graded now! thanks for your help tho!

anonymous · Answer

oh pellet...
flutter
dude 3^3 is 27 MY BAD!
 so 27 ^2 is 729!!!

anonymous · Answer

so it was the right way to do it i just did 3^3 wrong :(...im sorry!
