Find x using logharitms. 4^(2x-1)-11=0

The first step is to shift 11 to the right
side.


4^(2x-1) = 11


Now, to
find out x, we'll take log on both sides:


log 4^(2x-1) =
log 11


We'll use the power rule of
logarithms:


(2x - 1)*log 4 = log
11


We'll divide by log 4 both sides of the
equation:


(2x - 1) = log 11 / log
4


We'll add 1  both sides:


2x
= (log 11 / log 4) + 1


We'l divide by
2:


x = [(log 11 / log 4) +
1]/2


The solution of the equation is: x =
[(log 11 / log 4) + 1]/2.
