To the student....

(1) Indeed, this collection of words is mathematical nonsense.

But I have been seeing this kind of language a lot recently, so some teaching source somewhere is apparently teaching the nonsense.

"log base x to the power y" is not correct mathematical language. I assume what is meant is ; but the language for that expression is "log base x of y".

(2) So your post apparently means this:

But your post says nothing about what we are supposed to do with that equation....

If you actually have a question about this, re-post -- using the correct mathematical language and asking an actual question.
