Algebra help!! ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can try

OpenStudy (anonymous):

?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i ccccccan try to help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets do A first.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oka

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay**

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so what do you think you do first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simplify the 6^3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf 6^{3x}=104\qquad \textit{let us take say "log" to both sides} \\ \quad \\ log(6^{3x})=log(104)\implies \textit{any ideas?}\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf recall\implies log(a^{\color{red}{ x}})={\color{red}{ x}}log(a)\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so.... any ideas on the left-hand-side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry OS wasn't working for me earlier o-o

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

3x=log base 6 (104)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I wanna know how to do it though

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

6^3x = 104 now there is a relation between exponents and logs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

b^y= x log x to the b = y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so no?

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

What?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no they dont

for B \[\log_{a}x + \log_{a} y = \log_{a} xy \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rish I think you would know by now that math is not one of my good subjects xDD I don't understand what you put...

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

\[\log_{a} x + \log_{b}y = \log_{a}xy\]log to the base a x

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

When there ia + in log we multiple

OpenStudy (aaronandyson):

is**

@LeilaJudeh ?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

@LeilaJudeh u there???????o_O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a) \[6^{3x}=104\] Let's take log to both the sides.I'll be using log to the base 10 as you can easily find it's values from a log table given in your text book. \[\log_{10}6^{3x}=\log_{10}104\] Rule/Property of log, \[\log_{a}x^n=n \times \log_{a}x\] Your LHS becomes \[3x \times \log_{10}6=\log_{10}(13 \times 8)\] Another rule\[\log_{a}(x \times y)=\log_{a}x+\log_{a}y\] Apply on RHS\[3x \times \log_{10}6=\log_{10}13+\log_{10}8\]\[3x \times \log_{10}6=\log_{10}13+\log_{10}(2^3)\] Apply the first rule/property on second term on RHS \[3x \times \log_{10}6=\log_{10}13+3\log_{10}2\] \[x=\frac{\log_{10}13+3\log_{10}2}{3\log_{10}6}\] This way you can calculate by using values for the logs given in log table You can further simplify denominator \[x=\frac{\log_{10}13+3\log_{10}2}{3(\log_{10}2+\log_{10}3)}\] As I remember values for log2 and log3, they are \[\log_{10}2=0.3010\]\[\log_{10}3=0.4771\] You can use them but you'll have to look up the value for \[\log_{10}13\] Using the same laws and properties attempt your (b) part
