Convert it into a log.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 5^26?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

\(\LARGE a^x=b <===> log_{a}~b=x\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhh... so 5^-26?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Uhm, no >_< How are you arriving at those answers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A=5 B=26?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Right.. now put it into the log equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

log 5 26=x

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

There ya go, now plug that into a calculator and you will get x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's what idk how to do...

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

If you can't type in \(\Large log_{5}~26\) Then use the change of base formula.

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

\[\Large log_{5}~26=\frac{log~26}{log~5}\]

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Those log's have a base of 10 btw, which on the calculator is already programmed,
