Question 174242
The main thing to remember is this:
***** Logs are exponents! *****
Say or write it 10 times and you'll be fine
Ok, the 1st problem is
a) {{{6 = 2^x}}}
What's the log here? It's the exponent {{{x}}}
OK, now I can write
log = x 
What is the rest of it? Logs need a base, the same as exponents, so
log (base 2) = x
The last bit of info is what the result is when {{{2}}} is raised
to the log (or exponent){{{x}}}
You write it like this:
{{{log(2,6)= x}}} this says
{{{x}}} is a log
{{{2}}} is the base
{{{6}}} is the result
---------------------
b) {{{9 = 6^y}}}
{{{log(6,9) = y}}}
{{{y}}} is a log
{{{6}}} is the base
{{{9}}} is the result
---------------------
You should be able to do the rest
