$6.57 (3 s . f .)$ $6.57 (3s.f.)$

convert $2^{x} = 95$ $2^x = 95$ to a logarithmic function:

exponent: $x$ $x$
base: $2$ $2$
result: $95$ $95$

function: ${log}_{2} (95) = x$ $log_2(95) = x$

using a calculator, find $x$ $x$ , the solution of the logarithm:

${log}_{2} (95) = 6.57 (3 s . f .)$ $log_2(95) = 6.57 (3s.f.)$
