2^x=11

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

switch it to a log \[\log_{2}11=x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[b^x=A\iff x=\frac{\ln(A)}{\ln(b)}\] if you want a decimal approximation for this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 3.31 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i.e. if you want to compute a number, compute \[x=\frac{\ln(11)}{\ln(2)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

seems reasonable since \(2^3=8\) we can check

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i get something different http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=log%2811%29%2Flog%282%29

OpenStudy (luigi0210):
