Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Start with this equation where 17 is the base, x is the power that 17 must be raised to. Then 2 is the result.
17^x = 2 Take the log of both sides
log(17^x) = log(2) Take the x outside the brackets
x log(17) = log(2) Divide by log 17
x = log(2)/log(17) Find the values for log 2 and log 17
log(2) = 0.3010
log(17) = 1.230
x = .3010/1.230
x = .2446
