You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Looks like you need more practice with exponents and logs.
\n" ); document.write( "1. [could just look at it and notice that 5^3 = 125].
\n" ); document.write( "Take lob(base 5) of both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "log(base 5)(5^x) = x by definition
\n" ); document.write( "log(base 5)(125) = 3 by the process of seeing how many 5's multiplied together it takes to reach 125.
\n" ); document.write( "2. 8^(x+1)=16^x = (8^2)^x = 8^(2x)
\n" ); document.write( "Base is same, exponents must be same: x+1=2x; x=1
\n" ); document.write( "3. x=81^(3/4)=(81^(1/4))^3 Note that 3^4 = 81, so
\n" ); document.write( "x = ((3^4)^1/4))^3 = (3^(4*(1/4)))^3 = (3^1)^3 = 3^3 = 27
\n" ); document.write( "4. note that 2^3 = 8. 8^(-2/3) = (2^3)^(-2/3) = 2^(-2) = -1/4.
\n" ); document.write( "5. x=log(base 2)32. How many 2's have to be mult together to get 32?
\n" ); document.write( "2 4 8 16 32: 5 of them. x=5.
\n" ); document.write( "6. statement implies that x^-2 = 1/9. x=3.
\n" ); document.write( "7. \" \" \" 4^3 = x, x=64.
\n" ); document.write( "8. \" \" \" x+7=2x-1. Solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
