Question 1082984: What is the approximate solution to the equation 4^t=68?
Any help? Thanks for helping me out with finishing Highschool!!! Found 2 solutions by Edwin McCravy, Alan3354:Answer by Edwin McCravy(20060) (Show Source):
This is just a trial and error problem:
<-- too small
<-- too small
<-- too small, but fairly close to 68
<-- way too big.
So the closest is t=3.
If you were studying logarithms, you'd be able
to approximate the answer very closely as 3.043731421.
But that's not much bigger than 3, so 3 is an approximate
answer.
