Question

I'm having trouble reading this problem :/ Can someone maybe help me out with reading it and solving it?

Answer 1

picture not working

Answer 2

log base 4? log bases 10?

Answer 3

can you see the picture? I can't so I am lost here

Answer 4

it is not log base 4

Answer 5

Hmm... To me it doesn't look like 10 either :/

Answer 6

?

Answer 7

key here is we are doing the same as before

Answer 8

so we log 18 and is being asked to evalate

Answer 9

Well I'm trying to figure out what it says before I solve

Answer 10

charlie do log 18 and tell me what you get??

Answer 11

i tried base 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and it is none of these
no use it guessing until you know the base

Answer 12

log base smudge

Answer 13

LOL THIS SUCKS. It really looks like 4 to me :(

Answer 14

punch in log 18 in your TI 83 and see what the answer is

Answer 15

\(\log_4(18)=2.0849\) so it is not that

Answer 16

-10 and doing it that way and take the answer and work this backwards

Answer 17

log base10 I am pretty sure

Answer 18

You can see it now? Hmm, does that sound right @satellite73

Answer 19

no I know what to do, take the answer and times it 10

Answer 20

1.25*10? 12.5

Answer 21

the first one I got 18.4

Answer 22

that is taking first answer and times it by ten

Answer 23

So 18.4? That doesn't match up to the options though?

Answer 24

no keep going down the list until one does

Answer 25

i would moveon.org
no use guessing since you cannot know the base
it could be \(e\)
it could be a fraction
it could be \(\sqrt{2}\)
it could be anything

Answer 26

never mind not working out

Answer 27

i tired a bunch of integers, 2, through 12
none worked

Answer 28

hero can LN be used in this case?

Answer 29

O.k. I'll come back to it then. Thanks guys!

Answer 30

input:

solve(log_x = 1.8343, x) into your calculator. If that doesn't work, try:

solve(log_x = .3460, x)

Keep trying until you get a whole number or something like e or pi or something for x.

Try that.

Answer 31

ahhh maybe it is \(\log_e(18)=2.8904\)

Answer 32

does not match answer choices that are given

Answer 33

I think Satellite is right

Answer 34

\(2.8904 \approx 2.8905\)

Answer 35

it's the third answer

Answer 36

Oh, I see. Thank you @satellite73 @godorovg @Hero

Answer 37

hero thanks for helping out

Answer 38

great job satellite73

Answer 39

odd though because i rounded up to get the answer, strange that they would increase the 4 to a 5

Answer 40

it had me fooled as well, don't sweat it D :)
