Equation

Since b^y = x is equivalent to log_bx = y, an exponential equation can be expressed as a logarithmic equation.

A. Given 2⁴ = 16

1. (2) is the b.
2. (16) is the x.
3. (4) is the y.
4. Logarithmic Equation —› log₂16 = 4

B. Given 16^3/4 = 8

1. (16) is the b.
2. (8) is the x.
3. (3/4) is the y.
4. Logarithmic Equation —› log₁₆8 = (3/4)

C. Given 27^-2/3 = 1/9

1. (27) is the b.
2. (1/9) is the x.
3. (-2/3) is the y.
4. Logarithmic Equation —› log₂₇(1/9) = (-2/3)
