Question
solve: \\(\log_{2}(3x + 8) = 5\\)
which is an equivalent equation?
\\(2^{5} = 3x + 8\\)
\\(5^{2} = 3x + 8\\)
\\(2^{5} = \log_{2}(3x + 8)^{2}\\)
\\(5^{2} = \log_{2}(3x + 8)^{5}\\)
Identify the given logarithmic equation
Using the Logarithmic Functions knowledge point
$$
\log_{2}(3x + 8) = 5
$$
Apply the definition of a logarithm
Using the Logarithmic and Exponential Inverses knowledge points
$$
\log_{b}(Y) = X \iff b^X = Y
$$
$$
2^5 = 3x + 8
