Capitolo 5, Problema 15
Write each equation in its equivalent exponential form. log3 81 = y
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall the definition of logarithm: \( \log_b a = c \) means \( b^c = a \).
Identify the base \( b \), the result \( a \), and the logarithm value \( c \) from the equation \( \log_3 81 = y \). Here, \( b = 3 \), \( a = 81 \), and \( c = y \).
Rewrite the logarithmic equation \( \log_3 81 = y \) in its equivalent exponential form using the definition: \( 3^y = 81 \).
This expresses the original logarithmic equation as an exponential equation, which is the required equivalent form.
You can verify this by recognizing that \( 81 \) is a power of \( 3 \), but the problem only asks for the equivalent exponential form, so no further calculation is needed.

Definition of Logarithms
A logarithm answers the question: to what exponent must the base be raised to produce a given number? For example, log3 81 = y means 3 raised to the power y equals 81. Understanding this definition is essential to convert between logarithmic and exponential forms.
