which one u need help wit?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well really all of them but just 10 lol

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

o i dont know much about logs sryy...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@kropot72 do you know how to do these

OpenStudy (kropot72):

10. \[\log_{x-5} 0.001=-3\] Therefore using the laws of logs: \[(x-5)^{-3}=0.001\ ............(1)\] Equation (1) can be rewritten as: \[\frac{1}{(x-3)^{3}}=0.001\ ........(2)\] Cross-multiplying (2) we get: \[(x-5)^{3}=\frac{1}{0.001}=1000\ .......(3)\] Taking the cube root of both sides of (3) gives: x - 5 = 10 .......(4) Can you solve (4) to find x?

OpenStudy (aum):

\( \Large \log_{x-5}0.001 = -3 \\ \Large (x-5)^{-3} = 0.001 = (10)^{-3} \\ \Large x - 5 = 10 \) Solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=5?

OpenStudy (aum):

x = 15.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

howd you get the 10

OpenStudy (aum):

If the exponents on either side of the equal sign are the same then the base must be the same. (x-5)^-3 = 10^-3 x - 5 = 10 x = 15

OpenStudy (kropot72):

\[\sqrt[3]{1000}=10\]
