[Math] Power of X
 
I am doing some Calc AP homework, and for some reason I can't remember how to get X if its the power of a number like....

a=10
a^x = 100
I know x=2 but mathematicaly I cant figure out how to get that answer, I keep seeing how then forgetting its annoying lol, can anyone help?

Logarithms.

Log (subscript a)10 = x.

that is algebra 2 stuff, you know a lot of stuff mjordan

I've taken Algebra 2. I'm taking 10th/11th grade classes, so that's why.

That's something you don't know and you're in AP Calc? Wow.

iceman887 2004-09-01 04:59 PM

how do you get to take those classes at your age?, and i agree with graviton

Demosthenes 2004-09-01 05:00 PM

I skipped two grades.

You meant to say, "I skipped two grades." as that is proper grammar.

Just messin' with ya, man. :o

iceman887 2004-09-01 05:45 PM

holy moly 2 grades, no wonder

Fixed, upon your request.

Heh, that isn't that bad. Just wait until you take transforms. Then you forget all that trivial Calculus, until you brush up on it at least.

Demosthenes 2004-09-01 06:49 PM

What the hell is transforms?

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

Titusfied 2004-09-01 06:53 PM

Like LaPlace, Fourier, and Z-Transforms. There are a shit load of them, and they are extremely in depth and difficult to understand, at first at least.

Screw that I am taking Pre Calc and a business based Calc which doesn't have Trig in it. I depise math now, since the last 3 years of high school math I have had shitty ass teachers.

I said I couldnt remember... I was actually sleeping and woke up and couldnt sleep and it flashed in my head.... I took Pre-Calc in 11, and last year I didnt take a math and I am repeating 12th, I am little rusty
