Math Problem Statement

Write the exponential equation as a logarithmic equation. 10, squared, equals, 100 10 2 =100

Solution

The exponential equation you provided is:

102=10010^2 = 100

To convert this into a logarithmic equation, the general rule is:

by=xbecomeslogb(x)=yb^y = x \quad \text{becomes} \quad \log_b(x) = y

In your case:

  • b=10b = 10
  • y=2y = 2
  • x=100x = 100

Thus, the logarithmic form of the equation is:

log10(100)=2\log_{10}(100) = 2

Would you like further clarification on how logarithms work, or would you like to practice with other examples?

Here are five related questions for you:

  1. Convert 23=82^3 = 8 into a logarithmic equation.
  2. What is the inverse relationship between exponential and logarithmic equations?
  3. How do you solve logarithmic equations like log2(x)=3\log_2(x) = 3?
  4. What is the common logarithm (log base 10) of 1000?
  5. How do you evaluate log5(25)\log_5(25)?

Tip: Remember, logarithms are the inverse operations of exponentials. So, to convert between them, think of how each equation represents the "undoing" of the other.
