Q. Write the log equation as an exponential equation. You do not need to solve for x.log(x2+3x−6)=2Answer:
Identify base, exponent, result: Identify the base b, the exponent y, and the result x in the logarithmic equation log(x2+3x−6)=2. In a logarithmic equation of the form logb(x)=y, b is the base, x is the result, and y is the exponent. Here, the base is understood to be 10 because it is not written, so b=10, y0, and the result is the expression y1.
Convert to exponential form: Convert the logarithmic equation to its equivalent exponential form using the relationship by=x. Substitute b=10 and y=2 into the equation to get 102=x2+3x−6.
Write final exponential equation: Write the final exponential equation.The exponential form of the given logarithmic equation log(x2+3x−6)=2 is 102=x2+3x−6.
