What is the ase?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
base?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
where is base?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5 is on the bottom of log and 125 is lined up with it
OpenStudy (mertsj):
So do you know what the base is?

\[\log_{5}125= 3 \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes that is what the equation is what is the formula for exponential form
OpenStudy (mertsj):
What is the base?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5
OpenStudy (mertsj):
What is the exponent?

there isn't an exponent
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Aha...that is your problem. The log is the exponent. So the equation says log = 3 that means the exponent is 3

i don't understand what you mean. ive done this problem before but i don't remember how to do it i know that for logarithmic form b^x=y and that would become logb(32)=5
OpenStudy (mertsj):
5^3=125.
The base is 5 and the exponent is 3

It is very important for you to learn that THE LOG IS THE EXPONENT.
