Identify base, number, and exponent: Identify the base (b), the number (x), and the exponent (y) that the logarithm is trying to find.In the logarithmic equation log101,000,000, the base b is 10 and the number x is 1,000,000. We are trying to find the exponent y such that 10y=1,000,000.
Recognize 1,000,000 as a power of 10: Recognize that 1,000,000 is a power of 10. Specifically, 1,000,000 is 106 because 10 multiplied by itself 6 times equals 1,000,000.Calculation: 10×10×10×10×10×10=1,000,000.
Write exponential form of logarithmic equation: Write the exponential form of the logarithmic equation using the base, the exponent, and the number.Since we know that 106=1,000,000, we can write the exponential form of the logarithmic equation as log101,000,000=6.
