What is the solution to the equation 4 ^2x ≈ 3 ?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[2x \log_{10}4\approx \log_{10}3 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So that equals?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

do you understand how @Mertsj got to that part?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but i dont get how to make it into an answer

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you have a calculator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah but it dosent do log

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Then use an online calculator

OpenStudy (mertsj):

type log4 into a google search bar.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Well, from \(\large 2x \log_{10} 4 \approx \log_{10} 3\) you need to use isolate x to one side... you can accomplish that by dividing the two log functions with eachother. \[\large 2x \approx \frac{\log_{10}3}{\log_{10}4}\] So now you van evaluate the stuff on the right side first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So do i plug that into a calculator?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

yep.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

allright thank you

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

after you find out what that fraction equals you divide that result by 2 and youll find your answer for x.
