Q. Solve the following logarithm problem for the positive solution for x.logx343=23Answer:
Understand the logarithmic equation: Understand the logarithmic equation.The given logarithmic equation is logx343=23, which means that x raised to the power of 23 equals 343.
Convert to exponential form: Convert the logarithmic equation to exponential form.Using the definition of a logarithm, we can rewrite the equation as x23=343.
Find base of exponent: Find the base of the exponent that results in 343. We know that 73=343, so we can rewrite 343 as 73.
Set bases equal: Set the expression with the base x equal to the expression with base 7. Now we have x3/2=73. Since the exponents are equal, we can set the bases equal to each other.
Solve for x: Solve for x.To find x, we need to find a number that when raised to the power of (3)/(2) gives 73. We can take the cube root of both sides and then square it to isolate x.(x(3/2))(2/3)=(73)(2/3)x=72x=49
