2^(2x)=81

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm afraid that's incorrect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2^4\neq81\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Exactly .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's going to be messy i believe you're going to have to take the ln of boh sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry my bad im stumped

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually the answer is suppesed to be log(2)9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Supposed*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you take the natural log of both sides then you can pull out the 2x in front

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2xln(2)=ln(81)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not quite sure how to get x from there .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x = ln(81)/ln(2) x = ans / 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Of course . Thank you !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Brown is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer you get is 3.169925001

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
