Solve for x. log5x=(1/2). Express the answer to the nearest hundredth.
is 5 the base of the log ?
then log5x = 1/2
---> x = 5^(1/2) or
x = √5
x = 2.2361 or x = 2.24
To solve for x in the equation log5x = (1/2), we need to use logarithmic properties to isolate x.
First, we can rewrite the equation in exponent form using the definition of logarithms: 5^(1/2) = x.
Since 5^(1/2) represents the square root of 5, we can calculate it by taking the square root of 5: √5 ≈ 2.24.
Therefore, x ≈ 2.24 (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
