Find the solution of the exponential equation 2^(1-x)=19 in terms of logarithms or correct the four decimal places.

2^(1-x) = 19


==> To solve
the equality, we will us the logarithm form.


==> First. let
us apply the logarithm to both sides:


==> log 2^(1-x) = log
19


Now we know from logarithm properties
that:


log a^b = b *log a


==> log
2^(1-x) = log 19


==> (1-x)*log 2 = log
19


Now we will divide by log
2


==> (1-x) = log 19/ log
2


==> -x = log 19/ log 2  -
1


Now multiply by -1.


==>  x = 1
- log19/log2


==> x = 1 -
4,2479


            =
-3,2479


Then, the answer is x =
-3,2479.
