Rewrite 4 and 8 in terms of powers of 2: 4 = 2^2 and 8 = 2^3. The equation becomes (2^2)^x = 2^3, simplifying to 2^(2x) = 2^3. Equating the exponents, we get 2x = 3. Therefore, x = 3/2 .

Given π = 3.142, l = 46.4, T = 1.37, and the equation 4π^2g = l/T^2, start by rearranging the equation: g = l/(4π^2T^2). Compute π^2≈9.869, so 4π^2≈39.476. Compute T^2 = 1.37^2 ≈ 1.8769. Then substitute these into the equation: l/(4π^2T^2) = 46.4/(39.476 * 1.8769) ≈ 0.629. Use logarithmic tables for precise calculations and verify g to the required precision .

From the equation lg (10x) = b, we know lg 10 + lg x = b. Since lg 10 = 1, the equation becomes 1 + lg x = b . Solving for lg x gives lg x = b - 1. To express in terms of x, interpret as 10 raised to this power: x = 10^(b-1).

The expression (81)^(-2) is evaluated by first realizing that it interprets to 1 divided by 81 squared. Calculate 81^2 which equals 6561 . Thus, (81)^(-2) becomes 1/6561 .

First, apply the power rule to the first term: 2lg 5 = lg (5^2) = lg 25. Then, use the properties of logs to simplify the expression: lg 25 + lg 8 - lg 2 . Combine using the product rule: lg(25 * 8) = lg 200. Finally, apply the quotient rule: lg (200/2) = lg 100, which equals 2 since 100 is 10^2 .

To solve for x in the equation x^2 = 64, take the square root of both sides. This gives x = ±√64. Since the square root of 64 is 8, the value of x is 8 or -8 .

Using the logarithmic identity log a^b = b log a, the expression log (10^x) simplifies to x * log 10. Since log 10 is equal to 1 (in base 10), the expression further reduces to x .

Start by expressing the logarithms in a simplified addition form: 2 log 5 + log 4. Apply the power rule to convert 2 log 5 to log 25 (since log a^b = b log a). This gives log 25 + log 4. Use the product rule for logarithms (log a + log b = log ab) to combine them into a single logarithm: log(25 * 4) = log 100. Therefore, the solution is log 100 .

Use the logarithm property log a + log b = log (a*b) to combine log x + log 2 into log (2x). The equation then becomes log (2x) = log 6 . By the identity that if log a = log b, then a = b, it follows that 2x = 6, leading to x = 3 .

Given that lg (10x) = b, we can use the property of logarithms that states log(ab) = log a + log b. Thus, lg (10x) = lg 10 + lg x, simplifying to 1 + lg x = b since lg 10 = 1 . Solving for lg x gives lg x = b - 1 .
