Math Problem Statement

Answers the following

Rewrite the following exponential equations in logarithmic form, whenever possible: 1. 5^3 = 125 2. 10^2 = 100 3. e^2 = x

Solution

To convert these exponential equations into logarithmic form, we will use the logarithmic identity:

If ab=c, then loga(c)=b.\text{If } a^b = c, \text{ then } \log_a(c) = b.

Let’s apply this to each of the given equations:

  1. 53=1255^3 = 125

    • This becomes: log5(125)=3\log_5(125) = 3.
  2. 102=10010^2 = 100

    • This becomes: log10(100)=2\log_{10}(100) = 2.
  3. e2=xe^2 = x

    • This becomes: ln(x)=2\ln(x) = 2, where ln(x)\ln(x) is the natural logarithm (base ee).

  2. What is the logarithmic form of 72=497^2 = 49?
  3. Can you convert 34=813^4 = 81 into logarithmic form?
  4. How would you express 2x=162^x = 16 in logarithmic terms?
  5. What is the logarithmic form of x5=3125x^5 = 3125?

Tip: Remember, logarithms help to solve for exponents. If you have an equation in the form ax=ba^x = b, the logarithmic form helps isolate xx by using the logarithm of bb with base aa.
