[SOLVED] Logarithms and Exponents Question
Homework Statement
[tex]5^{x}[/tex]=41
The attempt at a solution
Well, I know that one way to figure this out would be that to find a common base for both sides of the equation and then use the known exponent to find the variable. The only thing with this is that there isn't any power that 5 could be taken to, to get 41. Please help...I know this is a simple question but I just can't get it.
