Solve log x = 4. (2 points) x = 4 x = 40 x = 1,000 x = 10,000

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\large \log_{{\color{brown}{ }} } {\color{blue}{ x}}=4\implies \log_{{\color{brown}{10 }} } {\color{blue}{ x}}=4\implies {\color{brown}{ 10}}^4={\color{blue}{ x}}\)

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

you need tp raise both sides of the equation as a power of 10 as it appears you are using base 10 logs the rule is \[10^{\log_{10}(a)} = a\] hope it helps

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

when the base is omitted, or skipped keep in mind that, "base 10" is assumed

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Oh so it's C then?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well 10^3 = 1000

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Ok great, thanks! :)

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

and you want 10^4 as @jdoe0001 showed you

OpenStudy (vera_ewing):

Oh so it's actually D?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

yes
