a.
To find:
An interval containing the solution of the equation by completing the table.
a.
Answer to Problem 110E
Our required interval would be
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A logarithmic equation and a table:
x | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
|
Calculation:
To complete the table, we will substitute the values of x in our given expression as shown below:
The complete table would be:
x | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
| 817.099 | 765.720 | 626.059 | 246.420 |
|
Since 264 lies between 626.059and 246.420, therefore our required interval would be
