Given:

The equation is


\log_3625=x

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

We have,


\log_3625=x

It can be written as


\log_3(5)^4=x


4\log_3(5)=x
[\because \log x^n=n\log x]


4(\log (5))/(\log (3))=x
[\because \log_ab=(\log_xb)/(\log_xa)]


4* (0.69897)/(0.47712)=x


x\approx 5.8599

Therefore, the value of x is about 5.8599.
