Question

Solve each exponential equation. Give the exact value for x.

(a)    
7x
1
49

x =
 
 


(b)    
5x = 8

x =
 
 


(c)    
4x = 2.5

x =
 
 


(d)    
4x = 5

x =
 
 

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

a) given: 7x = 1

Take log both side, we get:

7logx=log1

So x=0    (log1=0)

Then

Answer:   49x=0
