Just apply the basic logarithmic rules Try it yourself :) Using \[\huge a^x=b \leftarrow \rightarrow \log_ab=x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these problems are designed to confuse. usually \(b\) represents the base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok (: is 80 b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have to thing abstractly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I love math, but these confusing things & using LOG, i hate. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh believe me logs are your friends

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

81 = a 82 = e ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you want to solve \[2^x=50\] where the variable is in the exponent, you cannot do it with algebra you need logs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yw, actually you did all the work yourself

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So say it asked me to evaluate log little 4 64 how would i do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rewrite in equivalent exponential form (that was the point of the previous problems)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If i put another picture in a new thread, could you show/help me how to do them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure did you get this one \[\log_4(64)=y\] \[4^y=64\] if you put it in that form, the answer should be obvious (more or less)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

think about what \(\log_4(64)\) means. it is the exponent, the number you would raise 4 to to give the result of 64

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, i got that one thank you. (: what did you type to make that show up as a little 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\log_4(64)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

enclose in tags \[

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, ok. thank you. (: i been wondering how to do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\LaTeX\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol
