Part 1.] Find the value of x in
4,000( 1.5^(x))=25,000. Show your work.

Part 2.] Use the domain {½ , 1, 2, 4, 8} to plot the points on the graph for the given equation. The grid marks represent one unit, the horizontal red line represents the x-axis, and the vertical red line represents the y-axis.
y= log_(2) x

Part 1. First we are going to divide both sides of the equation by 4000:

(4000(1.5^(x)) )/(4000) = (25000)/(4000)

1.5^(x) = (25)/(4)
Now we can use logarithms to bring down the variable:

ln(1.5^(x) )=ln( (25)/(4))

xln(1.5)=ln( (25)/(4))

x= (ln( (25)/(4)) )/(ln(1.5))

x=4.52

Part 2. Lets use the domain (x values) to find the range (y values):

log_(2) ((1)/(2))=-1

log_(2) (1)=0

log_(2) (2)=1

log_(2) (4)=2

log_(2) (8)=3

Finale lets put the points together and draw our graph:
