Question Solve for the exact value of xx where log7(4x)+3log7(5)=5\log_7(4x) + 3\log_7(5) = 5.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The base of the logarithm is7. . The logarithm of the product of two numbers is equal to the sum of the logarithms of each number.
3. The logarithm of a number raised to a power is equal to the product of the power and the logarithm of the number.

STEP 2

We can use the property of logarithms that states the logarithm of a number raised to a power is equal to the product of the power and the logarithm of the number. This allows us to rewrite the second term on the left side of the equation.
log7(5)=log7(5) \log{7}(5) = \log{7}(5^)

STEP 3

Now, substitute log7(53)\log{7}(5^3) back into the original equation.
log7(x)+log7(53)=5\log{7}( x)+\log{7}(5^3)=5

STEP 4

We can use the property of logarithms that states the logarithm of the product of two numbers is equal to the sum of the logarithms of each number. This allows us to combine the two logarithms on the left side of the equation.
log7(4x3)=\log{7}(4 x \cdot^3)=

STEP 5

implify the inside of the logarithm.
log7(500x)=5\log{7}(500x)=5

STEP 6

To remove the logarithm, we can use the property of logarithms that states blogb(x)=xb^{\log{b}(x)}=x. This gives us5=500x^5 =500x

STEP 7

To solve for xx, we can divide both sides of the equation by500.
x=75500x = \frac{7^5}{500}

STEP 8

Finally, calculate the value of xx.
x=75500=16807500=33.614x = \frac{7^5}{500} = \frac{16807}{500} =33.614So the exact value of xx is 33.61433.614.
