log7^n=(2/3)log7^8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

log base 10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do you solve it? I'm not sure where to start.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first begging by writen it clear it is \[\log_{10}7^{n} = (2/3)\log_{10}7^{8} ???? \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where does the 10 come from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the logarithmic functions has a base usually when u write log it meants that it has base 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the base on this one is 7. |dw:1367181399126:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is n a exponent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, n is the exponent for the left side of the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the base of the exponent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n is the exponent; and its base?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the base is 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the base of the log function is 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 7 is the base of n

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

$$ log_7(n)=\cfrac{2}{3}log_7(8) ? $$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be great if the student write the eqation like jdoe001 or like me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1367181931693:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how jdoe0001 wrote the equation is the correct way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i dont understand jdoe011 help us

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh i get it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well so u must remember some property about the logarithms the first one is this
