Understanding Exponential and Logarithmic Equations

The video tutorial explains how to convert an exponential equation, 10 squared equals 100, into a logarithmic equation. It describes the inverse relationship between exponential and logarithmic forms, emphasizing that a logarithm asks what power a base must be raised to achieve a certain number. The tutorial provides an example of writing a logarithmic equation and highlights the equivalence between exponential and logarithmic expressions. Key terminology such as base and exponent is clarified, reinforcing the understanding of these mathematical concepts.
