Answer:
x ≈ 1.893 ( to 3 dec. places )
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the rule of logarithms
log [tex]x^{n}[/tex] = n logx
Given
[tex]3^{x}[/tex] = 8 ( take the log of both sides )
log[tex]3^{x}[/tex] = log8, that is
xlog3 = log8 ( divide both sides by log3 )
x = [tex]\frac{log8}{log3}[/tex] ≈ 1.893
