Log2 (log381)
Answer by josmiceli(19441) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+log%28+2%2C+%28+log%28+381+%29+%29%29+
+log%28+381+%29+=+2.5809+
So, you have:
+log%28+2%2C+2.5809+%29+
---------------------
You can rewrite this as:
+2%5Ex+=+2.5809+
Now take the log to base +10+
of both sides
+x%2A+log%28+2+%29+=+log%28+2.5809+%29+
+x+=+log%28+2.5809+%29+%2F+log%28+2+%29+
+x+=+.4118+%2F+.301+
+x+=+1.3681+
------------------
The "easy" way to do logs is to
understand them really well.
Think about what all the rules
mean and how best to use them.
Sorry, no easy way out
