8^x=1/128

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve the equation analytically.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[xln8=\ln(1)-\ln(128)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right, and divide by ln(8)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it \[x= \frac{ \ln 127 }{ \ln 8 }\]

OpenStudy (radar):

\[(2^{3})^{x}=2^{-7}\] For some reason that looks like that might help. But don't see how lol.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@the answer is supposed to be x=-7/3

OpenStudy (radar):

Now I see how it helps.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@radar does this mean the single ln(1) doesnt matter then ?

OpenStudy (radar):

Isn't the ln1 a zero?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol.. i am barely learning it i thought i would have to subtract ln(1)-ln(128) but your equation was much more helpful thanks

OpenStudy (radar):

I was attempting to show a solution by getting around logs (because I am easily confused with them) lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ha thanks it worked
