Solve 13^x+2=5 having a bit of trouble

<em>Solve: </em>13^{x} + 2 = 5

Start by isolating the x-variable as much as you can:
13^{x} = 5 - 2 = 3
13^{x} = 3

Now, if we take the log with base 13 of both sides, then the left hand side will cancel out really easily. This is based on the concept of inverse operations. For example, when we take the square of a square root, we get our initial value. This is because the two operations are inverses of each other, and basically undoes each other.

Logarithms and exponentials are the inverse operations of each other. If we want to extrapolate the power of an exponential, we take the logarithmic function of it, and vice versa.

In this case, we are saying what power of '13' will produce us with 13ˣ, and the only answer will be x itself.

log_{13}(13^{x}) = log_{13}(3)
x = log_{13}(3)

A board that measures 3/4 feet long is cut into 6 equal pieces. What is the length of each piece?
shusha [124]

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know that there is a \frac{3}{4} feet long board and that it is split into 6 pieces.

With that information, we can split it by doing the following:

1. \frac{3}{4} *\frac{1}{6}

We can do this because we have a board that is 0.75 feet long and we multiply it by one sixth because we want to divide a fraction and to do that we have to flip the fraction.

After doing that, we get our answer of \frac{3}{24}=\frac{1}{8}

This means that each piece is \frac{1}{8} feet long.

Cheers!
