Question

Angie is working on solving the exponential equation 23x = 6; however, she is not quite sure where to start. Using complete sentences, describe to Angie how to solve this equation.

Hint: Use the change of base formula: log base b of y equals log y over log b.

Answer 1

Explanation:

continuation of the previous answer:

now, for the final step angie should use the change of base formula in order to make the logarithmic expression simpler to analyze.

`x = ( log(6) )/( log(23) )`

after applying this formula Angie has successfully solved her exponential equation.
