Round any decimal answer to the nearest hundredth. Do not use spaces or capital letters.
\n" ); document.write( "5^x = 83
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "ln(5^x) = ln(83)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x*ln(5) = ln(83); the log equivalent of exponents
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x*(1.6094379) = 4.418840608; find the ln of 5 and 83
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = $\"4.41880608%2F1.6094379\"$
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2.75
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check on a good calc 5^2.75 = 83.59 ~ 83 \n" ); document.write( "
