College Algebra: Solving for x in Log Equations

[16teenagedream]

a whole lot of talking and joking and no actual PROBLEM SOLVING ! thanks for making me fail math this year , -______-

DA FUQ? YO I STILL NEED HELP!!!!!!! D:

[amoydety]

ahhhh, why didnt u finish?

[PHILoMic]

this isnt college, unless college is rly bad in were ever u are

[burningdollparts]

why are these short. Are you suppose to purchase something?

[sonicfanrs]

WHY THE HECK WOULD ANYONE STICK AN X IN A LOG TO BEGIN WITH!?

[2r3tard3d]

@sonicfanrs b/c these equations can express real life scenarios and x is any input that either works or doesnt work with that equation. For example, you can use the positions formula and plug in the time and previous position to find out where something would be after that amount of time has elapsed expressed by units.

[2r3tard3d]

@sonicfanrs Oh, and you also need to know about logarithms, because they are used in engineering course. :]

[sonicfanrs]

@2r3tard3d Ironicly, I'm currently an Engineering major -- however, I'm switching out next semester =)

[2r3tard3d]

@sonicfanrs Haha, well I started my first year of college this quarter and am currently majoring in Graphic Design, but will be switching to Computer Engineering pretty soon.

answer is 5.

log(32) / log(2) = 5

[Vashthespearman]

you can also take the log of 32 and devide it by the log of 2, to get your answer

[maralovesu]

the answer is 5 because if you put it in the expidentual form then you are looking for what power of two will give you 32. this is equal to 5 b/c 2x2x2x2x2=32 so x=5
