question 37

Multiple Choice

Solve the logarithmic equation algebraically. Approximate the result to three decimal places. $$2 \log _ { 2 } ( 0.5 x ) = 23$$

• A) \(2 \left( 2 ^ { 23 / 2 } \right) \approx 5,792.619\)
• B) \(2 \left( 2 ^ { 23 / 2 } \right) \approx 5,794.619\)
• C) \(2 \left( 2 ^ { 23 / 2 } \right) \approx 5,790.619\)
• D) \(2 \left( 2 ^ { 23 / 2 } \right) \approx 5,791.619\)
• E) \(2 \left( 2 ^ { 23 / 2 } \right) \approx 5,793.619\)
