Question

Okay younglings and fetuses.. Answer this question and win a medal , a fan , and Schrute buck..
y = log x
If y = 10, then what is x?

Answer 1

NAY! ^

Answer 2

\[\eqalign{
&y=\log_ax \\
&10=log_ax \\
&a^{10}=a^{log_ax} \\
&a^{10}=x
}\]

Answer 3

\(a\) is the base of the logarithm...since you are just mentioning \(\log x\) I assume the base is 10 so we have:
\[x=10^{10}\]

Answer 4

Here is your Schrute buck.

Answer 5

Well gee, thanks haha

Answer 6

In general for having:
\[y=log_ax\]
Then:
\[x=a^y\]

Answer 7

Mhm well most of you're 1st answers were correct.
I got
y = log x
10 = log x
10 = 10^x
x = 1

Answer 8

Ooo nice one keith! :O
Now you only need 999 more schrute bucks for an extra 5 minute lunch break!
