Explain how to evaluate log(5)64 and how could I check my answer?

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Do you know the relationship between a log and an exponent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No.

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

\(y=b^x\implies log_b(y)=x\)

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

For some logs, simpler ones, this relationship can make it not too hard to solve. For others, you might need change of base in a calculator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How could I check my answer?

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

That would be change of base in a calculator. Get an approximate answer and see if it matches what you got.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Know the change of base?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
