Yes! Logarithmic form and exponential form are two ways to express the same relationship. Here is how they are related:

If you have an exponential equation:
$a^x = b$
it can be rewritten in logarithmic form as:
$\log_a(b) = x$

Explanation

1. $a$ is the base of the exponent in the exponential form, and it remains the base of the logarithm in the logarithmic form.
2. $b$ is the result of raising $a$ to the power of $x$ in exponential form; it becomes the input to the logarithm.
3. $x$ is the exponent in the exponential form, and it becomes the output of the logarithmic form.

Example:

• Exponential form: $2^3 = 8$
• Logarithmic form: $\log_2(8) = 3$
