Erika is working in solving the exponential equation 50^x = 17 ; however, she is not quite sure where to start. using complete sentences, describe to erika how to solve the equation

Yes, 50^x = 17 is an exponential equation with base 50, and the task here is to solve it for x.

1) Take the log of both sides:  x log 50 = log 17

2) Divide both sides b log 50:    

      log 17

x =

      log 50

3)  This last result can't be simplified, but can be evaluated"

x = 1.2304 / 1.6990 = 0.724 (approx.)

17

step-by-step explanation:

51/3=17

thus 17 is your answer.

explanation:

infrared radiation has wavelength in the range between 700 nm and 1 mm. lets' convert these values into scientific notation, keeping in mind that:

let's start from the lower value, we have:

(we moved the dot two places to the left, so we increased the exponent by 2 units, from -9 to -7)

the higher value is:

so, the range of wavelength of infrared radiation is:
