Consider the equation log(3x - 1) = log28. Explain why 3x - 1 is not equal to 8. Describe the steps you would take to solve the equation, and state what 3x - 1 is equal to.

Answer:

In the equation log(3x - 1) = log2(8), 3x - 1 is not equal to 8 because the logarithms have different bases; the left side is the common logarithm (base 10) while the right side is base 2. To solve the equation, first simplify the right side: log2(8) = 3 because 2 to the third power is 8. This results in the equation log(3x - 1) = 3. Next, rewrite the logarithmic equation in exponential form using base 10: 3x - 1 = 10^3. Therefore, 3x - 1 is equal to 1000. To find x, add 1 to both sides and divide by 3 (x = 1001/3).

Which did you include in your answer?

A
The bases are not the same, so you cannot set 3x - 1 equal to 8.
B
You can evaluate the logarithm on the right side of the equation to get 3.
C
You can use the definition of a logarithm to write 3x - 1 = 1000.
