how would you solve this equation? logx5=1/4
\n" ); document.write( "Is this log base x of 5 = 1/4? (The x would be smaller and lower)
\n" ); document.write( "If so, rewrite it as an exponential function.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E%281%2F4%29=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x= the fourth root of 5
\n" ); document.write( "x= approximately 1.495348781
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "If this is the common log of x to the 5th power, the x would be normal sized and the 5 would be smaller and higher.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"log%28x%5E5%29=1%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5log%28x%29=1%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F5%29%285log%28x%29%29=%281%2F5%29%281%2F4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"log%28x%29=1%2F20\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=10%5E%281%2F20%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "x= approximately 1.122018454
\n" ); document.write( "I'm sorry that I can't be sure what you meant, I hope this helped.
