What is the solution to the equation 4^2x ≈ 3?
x = –0.631
x = –0.396
x = 0.396
x = 0.631

Does it look like this?
\[4^{2x} \approx 3\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes

Ok, start by taking the natural log of both sides. This will allow us to drop down the 2x in front like this:
\[2x \ln4 \approx \ln 3\]Do you see how we can isolate x now?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
By dividing it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
We'll start by dividing both sides by ln 4, right. Now we'll just have 2x on the left:
\[2x=\frac{ \ln 3 }{ \ln 4 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok now to get x by itself we would need to divide both sides by 2 right?
