Question

y=logx
If y=10, then what is x?

Answer 1

log base = ?

Answer 2

it just say x

Answer 3

10=log x
can u convert this in exponential form?

Answer 4

Okay, so what do you get in the equation when you plug \(\rm y = 10\)?

Answer 5

yes @hartnn

Answer 6

10 = log x
x = 10^10
you raise both powers to whatever the base of the log is to get rid of the log

Answer 7

what u get?

Answer 8

so then it will be one?

Answer 9

People, why don't you just help her?

Answer 10

@latremese40 Yes!

Answer 11

no

Answer 12

no, x does not equal 1

Answer 13

thank you @Parthkohli

Answer 14

Whenever you have such a form, then I prefer the exponential form.

Answer 15

@ParthKohli if x and y were reversed, this would be true

Answer 16

its not 1

Answer 17

@latremese40 You're welcome :)

Answer 18

x = 10^10

Answer 19

how @hartnn

Answer 20

@latremese40 Let me show you.

Answer 21

if you do log(1) you dont get 10

Answer 22

\[\rm 10 = \log (x)\]Right? But here, the base is 10.

Answer 23

oka Parthkohli

Answer 24

so raise both sides to the 10th power to get rid of the log with base 10

Answer 25

\[\rm 10 = \log_{10}(x)\]Do you know what the exponential form is?

Answer 26

the exponential form \(\huge if, a=log x\implies x=10^a \)

Answer 27

so what will be 10=log x ?

Answer 28

but its y=logx
then you get 10^x
x=1 right?

Answer 29

@latremese40 Let's do something clever.

Answer 30

when y=10, u get
10=log x

Answer 31

Let's first solve for \(\rm x\).

Answer 32

@ParthKohli if you plug in 1 for x you dont get 10

Answer 33

and u get x=10^y

Answer 34

how bout @parthkohli inbx me cuz im getin confused

Answer 35

\[\rm y = \log_{10}x \]So,\[\rm 10^y = x\]Right?

Answer 36

Now if you have y = 10, then you have\[\rm 10^{10} =x \]Got my point?

Answer 37

yes i do

Answer 38

And that's your answer! If you prefer the numeric notation, then add ten zeroes in front of 1.

Answer 39

sorry for the confusion.

Answer 40

oka... its cool hartnn

Answer 41

im still confused...how is x=1 like you said earlier?

Answer 42

@etemplin: That answer was out of confusion, so don't mind it. :)

Answer 43

wow that makes sense now. so x = 10^10 right? just making sure
