Given the exponential equation 3x = 243, what is the logarithmic form of the equation in base 10? I NEED HELP ASAP

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

if you take the log of both sides you get \[\log(3^x) = \log(243)\] apply the log law for powers and it becomes \[x log(3) = \log(243)\] now solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay...

one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am a little rusty on this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got x=5

@bpstation

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

you don't need to solve... just divide both sides by log(3) \[x \times \log(3) = \log(243)\] then you have x on the left side and the expression for x on the right. your answer choice is incorrect...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have to use a different account this is still the same person

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer would be A

OpenStudy (campbell_st):
