Question

Solve each equation.

Answer 1

3^x = 23

Answer 2

I'm not sure how to solve this. Do I use ln?

Answer 3

Yes, ln would work. You can rewrite this as log(base 3)23=x. Which can be rewritten as ln(23)/ln(3).

Answer 4

Could you not just convert the exponential format into the logarithmic format?\[3^{x} = 23 \rightarrow \log_{3}23 = x \]

Answer 5

x is approx 2.854.
