Question 718213: Write y as a function of x.
log10 y= -.75logx - 1.76
I am not sure if this is right, but I have tried to write the correct function,
log10 y= -.75logx - 1.76
y= 10^-.75logx-1.76
or
y= 10^-.75x * 10^-1.76
Please explain which one is right, if any, and why. Thanks!

To solve for y, all we have to do is rewrite the equation in exponential form. In general,  is equivalent to  . In words, this pattern tells us that the argument of the log, p, is equal to the base of the log, a, with an exponent of the whole right-hand side of the logarithmic equation.
Using this pattern, our log's argument, y, is equal to the base of our log, 10, with an exponent of the entire right-hand side:
which makes
y= 10^-.75logx-1.76
almost right. You just need parentheses on the exponent:
y= 10^(-.75logx-1.76)
