Given the exponential equation 3x = 243, what is the logarithmic form of the equation in base 10?
The answer is \(x= \frac{log_{10} (243 )}{log_{10} (3 )}\)
\(3^{x} =243\)
Logarithm both sides of the equation:
\(log_{10} (3^{x} ) = log_{10} (243 )\)
Since: \(log (a^{b}) = b*log(a)\), then: \(log_{10} (3^{x} ) =x*log_{10} (3 )\)
Back to our equation:
\(log_{10} (3^{x} ) = log_{10} (243 ) \\
x*log_{10} (3 ) = log_{10} (243 ) \\
x= \frac{log_{10} (243 )}{log_{10} (3 )}\)
The logarithmic form of the equation in base 10 will be log 3ˣ = log 243. Then the value of x is 3.
Let a be the base and x is the power of the exponent function and b be the y-intercept. The exponent is given as
y = aˣ + b
Given the exponential equation 3ˣ = 243
Then the logarithmic form of the equation in base 10 will be
Taking log on both sides, then we have
log 3ˣ = log 243
log 3ˣ = log 3⁵
x log 3 = 5 log 3
x = 5
