5^log base 5 of 17

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm 5 \log_5 17\] power rule \[\huge\rm log_b x^y = y \log_b x\]

geerky42 (geerky42):

Saying we have \(\Large A = 5^{\log_5(17)}\) Take log of base 5 of both sides and you should have \(\Large \log_5(A) = \log_5(17)\log_5(5)\) Since \(\log_5(5)=1\), you have \(\Large \log_5(A) = \log_5(17)\) Now cancel \(\log_5\) out and you are left with \(\boxed{A=17}\)

hmm cancel the logs? \[\log_b(x)\] and \(b^x\) are inverses therefore it is always true that \[\huge b^{\log_b(x)}=x\] and \[\huge \log(b^x)=x\]

you are right for this equation
