solve: 3^(x-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3^{x-1} \le 2^{x-7}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

step1; take log of both sides step2; isolate x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you take the log of both sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x-1)\log3 \le (x-7)\log2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I used log exponent law to bring it to the front

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[xlog3-xlog7 \le \log3-7\log2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x \le \frac{ \log3-7\log2 }{ \log3-\log2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there was a typo in 2nd last step, instead of x log 7 it should be x log 2

a bunch of magic just happened but i got it down so thank you very much!
