Math Problem Statement

Write the following exponential equation as a logarithmic equation: 2^5 = 32

Solution

To convert the exponential equation 25=322^5 = 32 into a logarithmic equation, we use the relationship between exponentials and logarithms, which states:

ab=cloga(c)=ba^b = c \quad \Rightarrow \quad \log_a(c) = b

For this equation:

  • The base aa is 22.
  • The exponent bb is 55.
  • The result cc is 3232.

Thus, the logarithmic form is:

log2(32)=5\log_2(32) = 5

So, you would enter:

log2(32)=5\log_2(32) = 5
