Solve the equation 4=3 x using logs in base 3 and base 10. How do logs allow you to solve for x?
Solve the equation 4=3 x using logs in base 3 and base 10. How do logs allow you to solve for x? Because the Product Property lets you take an exponent out of the log. PRODUCT PROPERTY
Solve the equation 4=3 x using logs in base 10 and base 3. ◦ First take the log of both sides: ◦ So,
Solve the equation 4=3 x using logs in base 10 and base 3. ◦ First take the log of both sides: ◦ So, ◦ Finally,
Our solution works no matter what base you use for the logarithm. What if we change to base 3?
◦ So,
