Multiple Choice

Convert the following logarithmic expression to its equivalent exponential form.
$$\log$_4x=5$

$4^{x}=5$

$x^4=5$

$4^5=x$

$5^4=x$

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the given logarithmic expression:

\log 4_{x} = 5

Recall the definition of a logarithm:

\log b_{a} = c

means

b_{c} = a

Apply the definition to the given expression:

4_{5} = x

Verify the conversion by checking if the exponential form correctly represents the original logarithmic statement.

Conclude that the exponential form of the given logarithmic expression is

4_{5} = x

Textbook Question

Falling body When an object falling from rest encounters air resistance proportional to the square of its velocity, the distance it falls (in meters) after t seconds is given by d(t) = (m/k) ln (cosh (√(kg/m) t)), where m is the mass of the object in kilograms, g = 9.8 m/s² is the acceleration due to gravity, and k is a physical constant.

a. A BASE jumper (m = 75 kg) leaps from a tall cliff and performs a ten-second delay (she free-falls for 10 s and then opens her chute). How far does she fall in 10 s? Assume k = 0.2.
