Question

Which of the following could be the first step in loving the equation 4*=17

Answer 1

4x=17, or 4^x=17?

Answer 2

4^x=17

Answer 3

do you know logs?

Answer 4

no not really

Answer 5

4^x = 17

so: log(17)/log(4) = x

We know that 4^2 = 16, so x is 2.something.

log(17)/log(4) = 2.043731420625169704127033005405202177005633641172410344063304...

Answer 6

We would just write x = log(17)/log(4)

Answer 7
