Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If log_5(x) = 1/2, what is the value of x?
  • Step 1: Understand that log_5(x) = 1/2 means that x is the number you get when you raise 5 to the power of 1/2.
  • Step 2: Rewrite the equation in exponential form: x = 5^(1/2).
  • Step 3: Recognize that 5^(1/2) is the same as the square root of 5.
  • Step 4: Therefore, x = sqrt(5).
  • Logarithms – Understanding the relationship between logarithms and exponents, specifically how to convert from logarithmic form to exponential form.
