logx143=0.96

 

Graph this on a graphing calculator and find the value of x where y drops below 30.

You cannot graph it as it because there is no y

 

 

logx143=0.96

 

\(log_x143=0.96\\ \frac{log143}{logx}=0.96\\ logx=log(143)/0.96\\ 10^{logx}=10^{log(143)/0.96}\\ x=10^{log(143)/0.96}\\\)

10^(log(143)/0.96) = 175.84972994163184

 

\(x\approx 175.84972994163184\)

 

check

 

log(143,175.84972994163184) = 0.9599999999999999

 

you are not goint to get any closer than that :)

x^.96 = 143

x = 143^(1/0.96)

x =175.85, because

175.85^0.96 = 143
