Question

Which equation is equivalent to log Subscript x Baseline 36 = 2?

I took the test :)

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to solve is:

$log_{x}36 = 2$

We can convert it to exponential form and find the answer. Below we show log to exponential form formula:

$log_{x}a=b\\x^b=a$

Now, we convert the log to exponential:

$log_{x}36 = 2\\x^2=36$

We now solve for "x",

$x^2=36\\x=+-\sqrt{36}\\x=6,-6$

We know the base number of log cannot be negative, so we disregard x = -6 and take x = 6 as our answer
