The approximate solution to the given equation is x ≅ 148.4. The correct option is C. x ≈ 148.4
From the question, we are to determine the approximate solution to the given equation,
The given equation is
[tex]4lnx -8 =12[/tex]
First, add 8 to both sides
[tex]4lnx -8+8 =12+8[/tex]
[tex]4lnx =20[/tex]
Now, divide both sides by 4
[tex]ln x =\frac{20}{4}[/tex]
[tex]ln x = 5[/tex]
Take the exponents of both sides
[tex]e^{lnx} = e^{5}[/tex]
x = 148.413
x ≅ 148.4
Hence, the approximate solution to the given equation is x ≅ 148.4. The correct option is C. x ≈ 148.4
