You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given:
.
.
Solve for x
.
You can convert this problem to exponential form to solve it. The conversion between
logarithmic and exponential form is done according to the following relationship:
. is equivalent to the exponential form
.
Remember this relationship. It's quite useful in solving logarithmic problems.
.
If you compare what you are given to the log form you can see that b = 5, C = 30, and A = x.
.
Now substitute these values into the exponential form and you get:
.
.
So and that is a pretty big number. You can use a calculator to find that is approximately
.
These are answers that you are looking for. Let's work a similar problem with smaller numbers
just for practice. Suppose the problem had been:
.
.
You solve for x by converting this log form to exponential form. In this case b = 5,
C = 3, and A = x. Substituting these values into the exponential form results in:
.
.
and 5 cubed is 5*5*5 = 125. So for this problem, x would be 125, and you can now write:
.
.
Hope this helps you to understand the problem a little better
