You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are correct.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "You were given:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"log%288%2C2%29+=+y\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "And you can solve this by converting this problem to the exponential form:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"8%5Ey+=+2\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Then you can replace 8 by its equivalent form \"8+=+2%5E3\" and you can note that on the
\n" ); document.write( "right side that \"2+=+2%5E1\". With these changes the exponential form becomes:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282%5E3%29%5Ey+=+2%5E1\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Now by the power rule of exponents you can multiply the exponents on the left side to get:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%5E%283y%29+=+2%5E1\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Since the base on both sides is equal to 2, for both sides to be equal the exponents
\n" ); document.write( "must be equal. So you can say
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"3y+=+1\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "and solve for y by dividing both sides by 3 to get:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "But from up above we said that \"log%288%2C2%29+=+y\" so you can substitute \"1%2F3\" for \"y\"
\n" ); document.write( "and see that the answer is:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"log%288%2C2%29+=+1%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "which is the answer you got, so you did it correctly.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Good job! Keep up the good work!!!
