does it help you to know that 6^3=216 and 6^4=1296 and 6^5=7776?
Do you know that the log is the exponent?
What is the base in this problem?
6^3=216 6^4=1296 6^5=7776 What is the base?
In this expression: 6^3=216 the base is 6 and the exponent is 3
No. The base is 6 because that's the way we define expressions with exponents: 10^4: the base is 10, the exponent is 4 5^7: the base is 5, the exponent is 7
So in your problem, by definition, the base is 6 and the exponent varies, depending on which ordered pair you select. But clearly the y values are exponents. In other words, the y values are logs beause lobs are exponents.
So we can say y = log because the y values are exponents
And as we have discussed, the base is 6 So: y=log_6(x)
