You can put this solution on YOUR website!
logs are easy if you can remember:
\n" ); document.write( "the log of 100 in base 10 is 2
\n" ); document.write( "i.e.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"log%28+10+%2C+100+%29=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and we know that 10 the power 2 is 100
\n" ); document.write( "which translates as
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10%5E2=100\"$
\n" ); document.write( "we can use those facts in reverse.
\n" ); document.write( "in your problem
\n" ); document.write( "i.e.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F4%29%5E-2=16\"$
\n" ); document.write( "which translates as
\n" ); document.write( " $\"log%28+%281%2F4%29+%2C+16%29=-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "i know it looks odd but its true!
\n" ); document.write( "and also in the other problem
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b%5Ec=a\"$
\n" ); document.write( "translates as
\n" ); document.write( " $\"log%28+b+%2C+a+%29=c\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
