Wendy is looking over some data regarding the strength, measured in Pascals (Pa), of some rope and how the strength relates to the number of woven strands in the rope. The data are represented by the exponential function f(x) = 2x, where x is the number of woven strands. Explain how she can convert this equation to a logarithmic function when strength is 256 Pascals.

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

2^x = 256

x=log[tex]_{2}256[/tex]

[tex]\frac{ln256}{ln2}[/tex]   = 8

The answer is 8

The required value of woven for 256 pascals is 8.


Exponential function is given f(x) = 2^x  where f(x) = strength in pascal and x is number of woven. Statement to explain how she can convert this equation to a logarithmic function when strength is 256 Pascals.

what is an exponential function?

The function which is in format f(x) =   where, a is constant and x is variable,  the domain of this exponential function lies   (-∞, ∞).  

f(x) = 256
256 = 2^x
Taking the log of base 2 on both sides.(This is how function transforms into a logarithmic function )
[tex]log_2256=log_22^x[/tex]                
[tex]log_22^8=xlog_22[/tex]
log to base 2 of 2 is 1
[tex]8log_22=x[/tex]
x = 8(1)
x = 8


Thus, the required value of woven for 256 pascals is 8.
