Find logarithm of both sides

log (3^x) = log 8

xlog3 = log8

x = log8/log3

x = 1.893

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
