Question

Write each equation in logarithmic form

Answer 1

5³ = 125

125 =5³

㏒₅125 = 5³

Answer 2

Answer: log₅ 125 = 3

Explanation: To convert this equation to logarithmic form,

remember that the base of the power in the original equation, 5,

becomes the base of the log.

So we have log₅.

Next, the exponent in the original equation, 3,

goes on the other side of the equation so we have = 3.

Finally, the result in the original equation, 125, goes inside the log.

So we have log₅ 125 = 3
