please help

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

1) put the exponents inside the logs, using \(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf a~log(b)=log(b^A) }\) 2) Use \(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf log(c)+log(v) =log(c \times v) }\) Then you will see that you can remove the \(\LARGE\color{blue}{ \bf log_7 }\) from everywhere.

what would b and a be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have a question do you know what \(\large 64^{\frac{1}{3}}\) is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like 64 times 1/3 or 193/3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah, i had a feeling that was going to be the problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large 64^{\frac{1}{3}}\neq 64\times \frac{1}{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\large 64^{\frac{1}{3}}=\sqrt[3]{64}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in english, the cubed root of 64 do you know what that number is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right so let me write out one first step for you using as @SolomonZelman said \[\huge n\log(x)=\log(x^n)\] you have \[\huge \frac{1}{3}\log(64)=\log(64^{\frac{1}{3}})=\log(4)\] clear?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k so now just do the same to the other one but the square root?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right! let me know what you get, because there is one more step after that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log(4)+\log(11)=\log(x) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok good now only two more steps, and the last one is really nothing using \[\log(A)+\log(B)=\log(A\times B)\] what do you get on the left hand side of the equal sign ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log(4)+\log(11)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is what you have make it look like \[\log(A\times B)\] now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

log(4*11)=log(44)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and now the last nothing step if \[\log(44)=\log(x)\] the guess what \(x\) is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

44

OpenStudy (anonymous):

bingo hope the steps were more or less clear

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes very clear thanks!
