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?

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