log5^x-log5^17=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x-17)ln5=4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how? (x-17)log5=4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anytime you have a log you can take the exponent and move it outside of the log. So lnx^2=2lnx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure what you're trying to ask. Is it this? \[\log_5(x)-\log_5(17)=4\] How about this? \[(\log_a5)^x-(\log_a5)^{17}=4\] or this maybe? \[\log_{a}(5^{x})-\log_{a}(5^{17})=4\] The last of these is what Rouault has solved for you.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

\(\log_5(x)-log_5(17)=4\\\log_5(x)=4+\log_5(17)\\x=5^{4+\log_5(17)}=5^45^{\log_5(17)}=625(17)=10625\)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

that is how to solve the last one, im not sure what @rouault did...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the right one is @zzruck3r how do it become x = 5^4+log5(17)?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

\(\log_5(x)=4+\log_5(17)\\5^{\log_5(x)}=5^{4+\log_5(17)}\\x=5^{4+\log_5(17)}\)
