Q. Write the log equation as an exponential equation. You do not need to solve for x.log5(x2−2x+20)=5xAnswer:
Identify components: Identify the base b, the argument x, and the exponent y in the logarithmic equation.The logarithmic equation is given as log5(x2−2x+20)=5x. Here, the base b is 5, the argument x is x2−2x+20, and the exponent y is 5x.
Convert to exponential form: Convert the logarithmic equation to its equivalent exponential form.Using the definition of a logarithm, we can convert the equation log5(x2−2x+20)=5x to its exponential form by raising the base to the power of the exponent to get the argument. This gives us 55x=x2−2x+20.
Write corresponding equation: Write down the exponential equation that corresponds to the given logarithmic equation.The exponential equation that corresponds to log5(x2−2x+20)=5x is 55x=x2−2x+20.
