Q. Solve for the exact value of x.log4(8x)−log4(8)=3Answer:
Combine logarithms: Apply the quotient rule of logarithms to combine the two logarithms into one.Quotient rule of logarithms: logb(a)−logb(c)=logb(ca)log4(8x)−log4(8)=log4(88x)Simplify the fraction inside the logarithm.log4(88x)=log4(x)
Simplify fraction: Set the combined logarithm equal to 3. log4(x)=3Now, we need to rewrite this logarithmic equation in exponential form.43=xCalculate the value of 43.43=64
Set equal to 3: Solve for x.x=64
