Intro to logs (Algebra 2)

Rewrite in exponential form:

log₉x=2

• 9^x=2

• 2^x=9

• 2⁹=x

• 9²=x

Write 6^x = 8 in log form.

• log₆ 8 = x

• log₈ 6 = x

• log₆ x = 8

• log₈ x = 6

Rewrite log₃t = 5 in exponential form.

• 5^t=3
• log₃5 = log₃t
• t⁵=3
• 3⁵=t

Write in logarithmic form:

a^b = c

• log _a c = b

• log _b c = a

• log _a b = c

• log _b a = c

Change to logarithmic form.

3^h = w

• log_w3 = h

• log₃w = h

• log_h3 = w

• log₃h = w

Change to exponential form.

log_a2 = 5

• a² = 5

• 5² = a

• a⁵ = 2

• 2⁵ = a

Rewrite log₂8 = 3 in exponential form.

• 2⁸ = 3

• 2³ = 8

• 3² = 8

• 8³ = 2
