QuestionFind the value of bb if the graph of y=logbxy=\log _{b} x passes through (8,2)(8, 2). Choices: a. 10, b. 2, c. 222\sqrt{2}, d. 232\sqrt{3}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation of the graph is y=logbxy=\log{b} x . The graph passes through the point (8;)(8 ;)3. We need to find the value of bb

STEP 2

The logarithm equation y=logbxy=\log{b} x can be rewritten in exponential form as by=xb^y = x.

STEP 3

Substitute the coordinates of the point (8;2)(8 ;2) into the exponential form of the equation.
b2=8b^2 =8

STEP 4

To solve for bb, we need to take the square root of both sides of the equation.
b=8b = \sqrt{8}

STEP 5

implify the square root of8.
b=22b =2 \sqrt{2}So, the value of bb is 222 \sqrt{2}.
