which logarithmic equation correctly rewrites this exponential equation? 8^x=64โ
we have that
64=2^6
so
substitute
8^x=2^6
8=2^3
so
(2^3)^x=2^6
2^(3x)=2^6
therefore
3x=6
x=2
with log
apply log both sides
log(8^x)=log(64โ)
apply property of log
x*log(8)=log(64)
x=log(64)/log(8)
simplify
x=log(2^6)/log(2^3)
x={6log(2)}/{3log(2)}
x=6/3
x=2
