CONVERTING BETWEEN LOGARITHMIC AND EXPONENTIAL FORMS

In this section, you will learn the following two conversions. 

(i) Logarithmic to exponential form.

(ii) Exponential to logarithmic form.

Logarithmic to Exponential Form

log m = x -----> m = ax

Exponential to Logarithmic Form

xy = k -----> y = logxk

Example 1 :

Convert the following to exponential form : 

log464  =  3

Solution :

64  =  43

Example 2 :

Convert the following to exponential form : 

log5(1/25)  =  -2

Solution :

1/25  =  5-2

Example 3 :

Convert the following to exponential form : 

log√39  =  4

Solution :

9  =  (√3)4

Example 4 :

Convert the following to exponential form : 

log100.1 =  -1

Solution :

0.1  =  10-1

Example 5 :

Convert the following to exponential form : 

log0.58  =  -3

Solution :

8  =  0.5-3

Example 6 :

Convert the following to logarithmic form : 

1/1296  =  6-4

Solution :

log6(1/1296)  =  -4

Example 7 :

Convert the following to logarithmic form : 

 (1/81)3/4  =  1/27

Solution :

3/4  =  log(1/81)(1/27)

Example 8 :

Convert the following to logarithmic form : 

 (13)-1  =  1/13

Solution :

-1  =  log13(1/13)

Example 9 :

Convert the following to logarithmic form : 

 8-2/3  =  1/4

Solution :

-2/3  =  log8(1/4)

Example 10 :

Convert the following to logarithmic form : 

10-1  =  0.1

Solution :

-1  =  log10(0.1)

Example 11 :

Solve for x :

log2x  =  1/2

Solution :

log2x  =  1/2

Convert to exponential form. 

x  =  21/2

x  =  √2

Example 12 :

Solve for x :

log1/5x  =  3

Solution :

log1/5x  =  3

Convert to exponential form. 

x  =  (1/5)3

x  =  13/53

x  =  1/125
