hero (hero):

Hint: \[b^x = y \equiv \log_b(y)=x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be better to say: \[b^x=y \Rightarrow \log_{b}y=x\] Your current equation can be easily confused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can't understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you have \(150^{x}=7\), you can take the inverse of both sides. This inverse is, in this case, \(\log_{150}\). Logarithms inverse exponentiation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer is log7/(log3+log5)+1

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

@ajaykharabe you need to use the base change theorem over here: \[\log_ab = \frac{\log_m b}{\log_m a}\] and then separate the denominator using the funda: \[\log_a(m\times n) = \log_am + \log_an\]

thanks got it
