satellite73 can you help me 54) please! http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/832/page533.jpg/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

didn't we do this one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[55=1200(\log_{2}225)\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you du 53

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh second part hold one let me look

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve \[55=1200\log_2(\frac{225}{x})\] for x yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes slove x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

step 1 divide both sides by 1200

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{55}{1200}=\frac{11}{240}=log_2(\frac{225}{x})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

step 2 use the property of log that says \[\log(\frac{b}{a})=\log(b)-\log(a)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{11}{240}=\log_2(225)-\log_2(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

step 3 get \[log_2(x)\] by itself on one side of the equal sign \[\log_2(x)=\log_2(225)-\frac{11}{240}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

step 4 figure out what the heck that number is on the right hand side. use a caclulator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of course you do not have \[\log_2\] on your calculator so you use \[\log_2(255)=\frac{\log(255)}{\log(2)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where the log is the one on your calculator. i get something close to 8. then add 11/240 to get 8.04 rounded

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so now we have \[\log_2(x)=8.04\] and rewrite in equivalent exponential form to get \[x=2^{8.04}=263\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and that is your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hope the steps are more or less clear. i wrote what i did for each one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8-11/240=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh damn i added when i should have subtracted. good eye sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should be 247

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{\log(255)}{\log(2)}-\frac{11}{240}=7.949\] rounded giving \[\log_2(x)=7.949\] \[2^{7.949}=247\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
