Question 402575: Solve the exponential equation algebraically. Approximate the result to three decimal places. (If there is no solution, enter NO SOLUTION.)
6^3x = 4000

6^(3x) = 4000
-----
Take the log of both sides to get:
(3x)log(6) = log(4000)
---
3x = [log(4000)/log(6)]
---
x = (1/3)[log(4000)/log(6)]
---
x = 1.5430
