satellite73 can you help me 54) please! http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/832/page533.jpg/
didn't we do this one?
\[55=1200(\log_{2}225)\]?
you du 53
oh second part hold one let me look
solve \[55=1200\log_2(\frac{225}{x})\] for x yes?
yes slove x
step 1 divide both sides by 1200
\[\frac{55}{1200}=\frac{11}{240}=log_2(\frac{225}{x})\]
step 2 use the property of log that says \[\log(\frac{b}{a})=\log(b)-\log(a)\]
\[\frac{11}{240}=\log_2(225)-\log_2(x)\]
step 3 get \[log_2(x)\] by itself on one side of the equal sign \[\log_2(x)=\log_2(225)-\frac{11}{240}\]
step 4 figure out what the heck that number is on the right hand side. use a caclulator
of course you do not have \[\log_2\] on your calculator so you use \[\log_2(255)=\frac{\log(255)}{\log(2)}\]
where the log is the one on your calculator. i get something close to 8. then add 11/240 to get 8.04 rounded
so now we have \[\log_2(x)=8.04\] and rewrite in equivalent exponential form to get \[x=2^{8.04}=263\]
and that is your answer.
hope the steps are more or less clear. i wrote what i did for each one
8-11/240=8
oh damn i added when i should have subtracted. good eye sorry
should be 247
\[\frac{\log(255)}{\log(2)}-\frac{11}{240}=7.949\] rounded giving \[\log_2(x)=7.949\] \[2^{7.949}=247\]
