  •   If log  y = 0.5x +  3
   4  , which of the following is true?

    a) y = log      4
       0.5x+3  b) y = 0.5x + --3--
           log4
      
    c) y = 4(0.5x) + 3  d)          x
y = 64 (2  )
      
    e)      x
y = 2  + 64

Solution:

The given equation is equivalent to

     0.5x+3     3 ( √-)x        x
y = 4      =  4     4   = 64 (2 )
