Question 37101: HELP!!! I have to write the logarithmic equation in exponential form. For example, the exponential form of "log5 25 = 2" is "52 = 25".
The 3 after log goes small...as if it was an exponent but to the bottom.
log3 27 = 3

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
logs are exponents - PERIOD!
when you see a log, read exponent
so,
log(base 3)27 = 3
reads like this:
the exponent to the base 3 WHICH GIVES YOU 27 is 3
reding carefully, I see
The exponent blah, blah, blah, is 3
so I know the exponent is 3
what's the blah, blah, blah?
That's the rest of the info
base 3
the answer is 27
3%5E3+=+27
It's not hard to read once you pick the sentence apart
logs are exponents - PERIOD!
