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\\)
\\(x = \\)

Explanation:

Convert to exponential form

Using the Logarithmic and Exponential Inverses knowledge point

$$ \log_{b}(y) = x \iff b^x = y $$
$$ 2^5 = 3x + 8 $$

Solve the linear equation

Using the Linear Equations knowledge point

Answer:

Question 1

  • (A) \(2^5 = 3x + 8\) (Correct answer)
  • (B) \(5^2 = 3x + 8\)
  • (C) \(2^5 = [\log_2(3x + 8)]^2\)
  • (D) \(5^2 = [\log_2(3x + 8)]^5\)
