\[x=\frac{ \log50 }{ \log2 }\]

OpenStudy (ranga):

Are you asked just to find x? If so you can use your calculator or Google calculator to find log50 and divide it by log2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is \[2^{x}=50\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the equation

OpenStudy (ranga):

It is true/ 2^x = 50. But what was the question to begin with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats one 2^x=50

OpenStudy (ranga):

Could you reproduce the whole question here please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2^{x}=50\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the question right there

OpenStudy (ranga):

2^x = 50, Solve for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (ranga):

If it is solve for x, then what you had at the beginning is the answer. x= log(50) / log(2). That is it. But if you want to give decimal answer then you can use the calculator to find log50/log2 and it comes to 5.6439. Both are acceptable. But I will leave it at x= log(50) / log(2) unless otherwise specified.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there a way of devide without useing a calc?

OpenStudy (ranga):

Logarithms are something you look up in a table. But if the number is a power of 10 then you don't need the table. For example, log10 = 1, log100 = 2, log1000 = 3, log10000 = 4 or log0.1 = -1, log0.01 = -2, log0.001 = -3, etc. But log50 = 1.699, log2 = 0.3010, etc. and so you will need a logarithm table or a calculator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok

OpenStudy (ranga):

But here x= log(50) / log(2) will be an acceptable answer unless the problem specifically asks you to give the answer in decimals up to so many decimal places.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks again

OpenStudy (ranga):

You are welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ranga is that your pet goat or something? sorry u had to ask XD

OpenStudy (ranga):

It is two dogs.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i had to ask*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when i try view your picture its small and from perspective look like goat to me XD

OpenStudy (ranga):

When I created an account here I used my Facebook account and it automatically pulled the picture from there and compressed it. I might change it someday to a bigger picture.
