Question

Solve each equation. Show all your work. Round your answers to four decimal places. (a) 7^4x=10,(b)ln(2)+In(4x-1)=5

Answer 1

A.) 7^4x = 10
log base 10 (7^4X) = log base 10 (10)
4x log base 10 (7) = 1
4x (0.8451) = 1
3.3804x = 1
x = 0.2958

b.) ln(2) + ln(4x-1) = 5
ln (2 * 4x-1) = 5
ln (8x-2) = 5
log base (3) (8x-2) = 5
e^5 = 8x-2
e^5+2 = 8x
x = 18.8016
