Question

Solve each exponential equation by using properties of common logarithms. Do not round the expression until the final

answer. When necessary, round answers to the nearest hundredth.
5^x= 3

X= 0.6
x=0.68
x= 1.46

Answer 1

x = 0.68

Explanation:

Taking logarithms, you have ...

x·log(5) = log(3)

x = log(3)/log(5) ≈ 0.68 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
