Logarithmic
Functions
Change the equation log 1000 = 3 into exponential form.
| y = logax if and only if x = ay | Recall the definition of the logarithm of x with a base of a. |
| y = 3 a = 10 (since the base is not specifically designated, it is assumed to be 10. x = 1000 |
Identify the values of y, a, and x used in the statement of the problem. |
| Show work. | Using these values for y, a and x, rewrite the logarithmic equation in exponential form. |
