how to change logarithmic equations to exponential form .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\log x =5 \] \[\ln 1=0 \] \[\ln 300x=1\]

OpenStudy (shamil98):

\[\Huge \log_a x = n\] \[\Huge \text{Becomes:}\] \[\Huge x = a^n\]

OpenStudy (zale101):

logs has a base of 10

OpenStudy (shamil98):

\[\text{Since there is no base specified we assume \it has the base of 10.}\] \[\Huge \log_{10} x = 5\]

OpenStudy (shamil98):

\[\text{Using the rule posted, what can you conclude?}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i can do it but how about ln ?!

OpenStudy (shamil98):

Cancel the logarithm by taking exp of both sides.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

\[\huge \ln ~300x = 1\] \[\huge e*\ln~300x = 1*e\] \[\huge 300x = e\] \[\huge x = \frac{ e }{ 300 }\] e and ln are inverses of each other and cancel out :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ,i see how ?thanks alot \[\log x =5 \] become \[10^5=x\]

OpenStudy (shamil98):

\[\large \ln~1 = 0~~~ \checkmark ~~\text{this is true so you can leave \it as that i guess}\]

OpenStudy (shamil98):

Yep, you got it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i don't have to change \[\ln1=0 \]

OpenStudy (shamil98):

Nope, the logarithm of one is zero.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

You can plug it into your calculator and you'll see that it is true if you want. ln 1 = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what if i did e it will be like this \[e.\ln1=0 .e\] \[1=0.e\] but it is false \[1=0\]

OpenStudy (shamil98):

You aren't solving for a variable -.-

OpenStudy (shamil98):

The logarithm of 1 is zero.

OpenStudy (shamil98):

you would only multiply by e to both sides when you are solving for a variable.. in this case the ONLY thing you do is punch ln 1 into your calculator, and you'll get the value which is 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ,get but i have to be change can i say like this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[loge 1=0 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LN1=0, if you raise both sides to e, it will be e^(LN1)=e^(0), 1=1 which means there are infinite number of solutions

OpenStudy (ranga):

They just want you to change logarithmic equations to exponential form. 1) x = 10^5 2) 1 = e^0 3) 300x = e^1 = e

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i know but i am asking if i can do it like this \[\ln 1=0\] \[loge 1=0\] \[e^0=1\] \[1=1\]

OpenStudy (ranga):

I would stop at e^0 = 1 because you have now changed it from logarithmic equation to an exponential equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok ,so it right yeah ?!

OpenStudy (ranga):

1) x = 10^5 2) 1 = e^0 3) 300x = e^1
