Question

Solve this equation for x. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
0.48 = log x

Answer 1

Explanation:

To solve for x, we can use the exponentiation property of logarithms which states that if b^y = x, then logb(x) = y.

Therefore, we have:

b = 10 (since log base 10 is the default)

y = 0.48

x = b^y

x = 10^0.48

x ≈ 2.96

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, x ≈ 2.96. Therefore, the solution to the equation is x ≈ 2.96.
