Solve for x log base x of 2=1/3

$\log_{x} (2) = \frac{1}{3}$

Step 1

Rewrite $\log_{x} (2) = \frac{1}{3}$ in exponential form using the definition of a logarithm. If $x$ and $b$ are positive real numbers and $b \neq 1$ , then $\log_{b} (x) = y$ is equivalent to $b^{y} = x$ .

$x^{\frac{1}{3}} = 2$

Step 2

Solve for $x$ .

Raise each side of the equation to the power of $3$ to eliminate the fractional exponent on the left side.

${(x^{\frac{1}{3}})}^{3} = 2^{3}$

Simplify the exponent.

Simplify the left side.

Simplify ${(x^{\frac{1}{3}})}^{3}$ .

Multiply the exponents in ${(x^{\frac{1}{3}})}^{3}$ .

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

$x^{\frac{1}{3} \cdot 3} = 2^{3}$

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$x^{\frac{1}{3} \cdot 3} = 2^{3}$

Rewrite the expression.

$x^{1} = 2^{3}$

Simplify.

$x = 2^{3}$

Simplify the right side.

Raise $2$ to the power of $3$ .

$x = 8$
