Algebra II Recipe: Changing a Logarithmic Equation to an Exponential Equation

Since log_bx = y is equivalent to b^y = x a logarithmic equation can be expressed as an exponential equation.

1. The base (2) is the b.
2. The (3) is the y.
3. The (8) is the x.
4. Exponential Equation —› 2³ = 8

1. The base (10) is the b.
2. The (2) is the y.
3. The (100) is the x.
4. Exponential Equation —› 10² = 100

1. The base (10) is the b.
2. The (-3) is the y.
3. The (0.001) is the x.
4. Exponential Equation —› 10^-3 = 0.001
