Good morning class today we will learn how to evaluate and solve logarithmic functions with unknown variables.
Logarithms and exponents are two topics in mathematics that are closely related. Therefore it is useful we take a brief review of exponents.
Rewrite exponential function 72 = 49 to its equivalent logarithmic function.
Rewrite exponential function 72 = 49 to its equivalent logarithmic function.
An exponent is a form of writing the repeated multiplication of a number by itself. An exponential function is of the form f (x) = b y, where b > 0 < x and b ≠ 1. The quantity x is the number, b is the base, and y is the exponent or power.
Rewrite exponential function 72 = 49 to its equivalent logarithmic function.SolutionGiven 7^2 = 64Here, the base = 7, exponent = 2 and the argument = 49. Therefore, 7^2 = 64 in logarithmic function is;⟹ log 7 49 = 2
Now lets try solving, Here's an example.
Now, would anyone like to answer this next problem?
