For questions 2-4, use the following equation: 3^x = 11 2.Are the bases the same? 3. The final step, using the change of base formula would yield: 4.The final step, using the change of base formula would yield:

Questions 3 and 4 are the same.

But anyways this can be solved by taking the log of both sides: x log 3 = log 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve for x: x = log 11/log 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simplify: x = 2.18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are the bases the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not to begin with , no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If the bases were the same, you wouldn't have to take logs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The final step, using the change of base formula would yield: is it 3/11 or 11/3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Should be 11/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay thanks and for the same bases is it a no or not enough information?
