Question

Which of the following is the solution of log x + 50.001 = -3 ?

Answer 1

here are the answer choices x = 5
x = 7
x = 13
x = 15

Answer 2

Well Lets try to isolate x
So first we subtract 50.001 from both sides
logx=-53.001

Answer 3

i typed it wrong, its base x+5 to the 0.001-3

Answer 4

Then we know that \( e^{ \log{x}} =x\)
So \( e^{ \log{x}}=e^{-53.001}\)

Answer 5

hmmmm
Can you retype it please cuz I dont think I am following?

Answer 6

better yet, draw it!

Answer 7

@shannondidier What should we use as the base of the unspecified "log?" Some people interpret this as log base 10, others interpret it as the natural log (base e)
