Full solution

Q. Convert the exponential equation in logarithmic form.\newline151=11515^{-1} = \frac{1}{15}
  1. Identify variables: Identify bb, xx, and yy. Compare 151=11515^{-1} = \frac{1}{15} with by=xb^y = x. b=15b = 15 x=115x = \frac{1}{15} y=1y = -1
  2. Convert to logarithmic form: Convert the exponential equation to logarithmic form. Substitute b=15b=15, x=115x=\frac{1}{15}, and y=1y=-1 in logb(x)=y\log_b(x) = y. Logarithmic equation: log15(115)=1\log_{15}\left(\frac{1}{15}\right) = -1
  3. Verify the solution: Check the final answer. Exponential equation: 151=11515^{-1} = \frac{1}{15} Logarithmic equation: log15(115)=1\log_{15}\left(\frac{1}{15}\right) = -1
