Chapter 10.6, Problem 40WE
To determine

To solve for x to three significant digits.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 40WE

  x=1.26,1

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  32x73x+12=0

We will make the given equation in form of quadratic. And then find its roots.

Let y=3x

  y27y+12=0y=7±(7)24(12)2y=7±12y=82,62y=4,3

Now y=3x

Then 3x=4,3x=3

Now we take log on both sides of the possible values,

  log3x=log4x=log4log3x=1.26

Other possibility is,

  3x=3x=1
