Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If log_x(81) = 4, find x.
Correct Answer: 3
  • Step 1: Start with the equation log_x(81) = 4.
  • Step 2: Understand that log_x(81) = 4 means that x raised to the power of 4 equals 81.
  • Step 3: Rewrite the equation as x^4 = 81.
  • Step 4: Recognize that 81 can be expressed as 3 raised to the power of 4, so rewrite the equation as x^4 = 3^4.
  • Step 5: Since the bases are the same (both are raised to the power of 4), we can set the bases equal to each other: x = 3.
