Solving logarithmic equations

The video tutorial explains how to convert a logarithmic equation into exponential form to simplify solving it. The process involves rewriting the equation, using logarithms, and applying inverse operations to find the solution. The example given is solving for X in the equation 3^2 = 2X - 1, which is converted to exponential form and solved step-by-step, resulting in X = 5.

What does the equation 3^2 = 2X - 1 represent in terms of logarithmic functions?
