The equation log%2840%29=1.6 is already in logarithmic form. To change it to exponential form, we need to...


log%2810%2C%2840%29%29=1.6 Rewrite log%2840%29 as log%2810%2C%2840%29%29


10%5E%281.6%29=40 Rewrite the equation using the property: log%28b%2C%28x%29%29=y ====> b%5Ey=x


So now the equation 10%5E%281.6%29=40 is in exponential form.
