Hi
If I am understanding Your question properly
Log 3 x = .2486
3^.2486 = x
find square root of x
sqrt(3^.2486) = 1.1463
You need the rule for changing a log equation to an exponential equation and vice-versa: That rule is this: The logarithm equation: logBA = C is equivalent to the exponential equation: A = BC So your logarithm equation log3x = .24863 is equivalent to x = 3.24863 And you can do that with a calculator and get x = 1.314094681 Then take the square root of that and get _ Öx = 1.146339688 Edwin
