Example 10.1.1.
Write each logarithmic equation as an equivalent exponential equation.
Solution.
- The logarithm asks "To what power must I raise 3 to get 81?" The base is 3 and the logarithm (or exponent) is 4, so
- The logarithm asks "To what power must I raise
to get 32?" The base is and the logarithm (or exponent) is 5, so
