Question

I'm given 10=log(x) and I'm supposed to find the x-intercept.

Answer 1

Answer:

  x = 10^10

Step-by-step explanation:

You are right to question the question. As posed, it makes no sense.

The idea of an x-intercept is applicable to a relation involving two variables that can be graphed on a coordinate plane.

If you graph this equation on an x-y plane, it will be a vertical line at x = 10^10, so that would be the x-intercept.

_____

I suggest you ask for an explanation from your teacher.

_____

The graph of y=log(x) is something else entirely, as you know. The x-intercept of that graph is x=1.
