Use an inverse property to evaluate 6^(log 6 19).

OpenStudy (mertsj):

First, I would like for you to understand this. Then after you understand...it will become automatic.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Think about the exponent only: \[\log_{6}19 \]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

A log is an exponent so that expression is talking about an exponent

OpenStudy (mertsj):

And this is the exponent it is referencing: it is an exponent that should be placed on the base 6. Do you understand that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So would I first evaluate log6 19?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you understand what I wrote so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe so.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

And if that exponent is placed on the base 6, the result will be 19

OpenStudy (mertsj):

So notice...in this problem, that exponent HAS BEEN PLACED on the base 6. So what is the result?
