Solve 5^x=81.2. Round to the nearest ten-thousands.
ln(5^x) = ln(81.2)
xln(5) = ln(81.2)
x= ln(81.2)/ln(5)
x= ln(406/5)/ln(5)
x = ln(406) - ln(5)/ln(5)
log (ab) = log(A) + log (B)
ln(2) +ln7 + ln(29 - ln(5)/ln(5)
x = 2.7320 (4dp)
Answer:
The value of x is 2.7320 ( approx )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation,
\(5^x=81.2\)
Taking log on both sides,
\(log 5^x = log (81.2)\)
By using the property of log i.e. \(log a^b = b log a\)
\(x log 5 = log (81.2)\)
\(\implies x = \frac{log (81.2)}{log 5}=2.731957\approx 2.7320\)
