Question

Which equation is equivalent to log Subscript x Baseline 36 = 2?

Answer 1

X^2=36(B) is the answer

Explanation:

I took the test :)

Answer 2

x = 6

Explanation:

The equation to solve is:

`log_(x)36 = 2`

We can convert it to exponential form and find the answer. Below we show log to exponential form formula:

`log_(x)a=b\\x^b=a`

Now, we convert the log to exponential:

`log_(x)36 = 2\\x^2=36`

We now solve for "x",

`x^2=36\\x=+-√(36)\\x=6,-6`

We know the base number of log cannot be negative, so we disregard x = -6 and take x = 6 as our answer
