(b) 36 =(1/6)^-2 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Is a fraction base common for this?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F6%29%5E-2=6%5E2\", so the equation could be written, \"36=6%5E2\".
\n" ); document.write( "\"log%286%2C36%29=2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "Note that exponential form shows a base and an exponent applied to that base:
\n" ); document.write( "\"b%5En=m\", is an equation in exponential form. The base is b, and the exponent is n.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"log%28b%2Cm%29=n\" is the same equation in logarithmic form. n is still an exponent, but here it is called a logarithm. The base is shown as a subscript on the \"log\" notation.

\n" );
