Please help!!!!! Simplify this logarithm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (yttrium):

I think you can do this in your own. >:P Just take note that 1/27 = 3^-3 and 9 = 3^2 Can you do the next stuffs?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, thanks for the help! I got the rest : )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would the answer be 1/4?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Nope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry! : (

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is 1/8 then...

OpenStudy (yttrium):

No. I think it's now time to show some more hints.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay 3^-3= 3^(2(8x-5))

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Yup.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So -3=3(8x-5) -3=24x-15

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Ooppss. There is some discrepancy.

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Should it be -3 = 2 (8x-5) ?

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Take a look at your exponent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh yeah! sorry! So then: -3 = 2 (8x-5) -3= 16x-10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer would be 13/16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that right???? =)

OpenStudy (yttrium):

Check again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oops! 7/16 then

OpenStudy (yttrium):

YOU GOT THIS! :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YAY! Thanks for all the help! =)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry it took so long for me to figure it out!

OpenStudy (yttrium):

That's okay. Part of studying :)
