Question 185778: Fill in the blank to make a true statement. To solve 8^x=26, we can take the logarithm of each side of the equation to get log (8^x)=log(26). The power rule for logarithms would then provide a way of moving the variable x from its position as an___________________________ to the position of a coefficient.
a) none of these
b) negative value
c) function
d) log
e) base
f) exponent Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The power rule for logarithms would then provide a way of moving the variable x from its position as an exponent to the position of a coefficient.
Note: the exponent is simply the term that is being "raised" over other terms. So for instance the "2" is the exponent of
