a.
To find:
An interval containing the solution of the equation by completing the table.
a.
Answer to Problem 116E
Our required interval would be
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A logarithmic equation and a table:
x | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
|
Calculation:
To complete the table, we will substitute the values of x in our given expression as shown below:
The complete table would be:
x | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| 6.908 | 8.124 | 8.987 | 9.657 | 10.204 |
Since 10 lies between 9.657and 10.204, therefore our required interval would be
b.
To graph:
The given function using a graphing utility and approximate the solution.
b.
Answer to Problem 116E
The solution of our given equation would be
