Can someone graph Log_(2) (5) for me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is a number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log_2(5)\] is a number there is nothing to graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It should resemble this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perhaps you mean \[y=\log_2(x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The function f(x)= log2(5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at the risk of repeating myself \[f(x)\] is a function \[f(5)\] is a number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

logs looks like this more or less |dw:1404181196958:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will send a better picture hold on a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How would I solve this then?: Which logarithmic graph can be used to approximate the value of y in the equation 2^y = 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess that graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is a better picture, click on "real valued plot" so as not to be confused http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=y+%3D+log_2%28x%29

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you want to find \[\log_2(5)\] we can find it if you like, without a graph (but with a calculator)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I found the value, but I don't know how to turn what they want me to into a graph
