Thread: Help with Log Equation

I am having trouble figuring the steps to solving the following. Can someone please show me so I can have a visual to better understand.
I am trying to solve for I.

1=6-5/2log(I/Io)

Is this your equation?

Sorry It is 5/2. thanks for the reply.

This one?

Yes...that is the equation I am trying to solve. I'm not sure how to go about doing so.

finish it.

But skeeter, is this base or base ?

looks like a sound level equation ... decibels in base 10.

Skeeter,

Thanks a ton sir....I see that you're a Naval Aviator. I'm a flight deck AT myself out on recruiting duty. I'm pretty sure that it is a base 10. At least the textbook explanation of common logs has it a base 10.

It is the magnitude of a star model. I= the intensity of the star being measured.
