Rewrite - log
3 (
729
) = x in exponential form using the definition of a logarithm. If x and b are positive and real numbers and b does not equal 1, then log
b (
x
) = y is equivalent to
b^{y} =
x .
3 x = 729
Create equivalent expressions in the equation that all have equal bases.
3^{x} = {3^6}
Since the bases are the same, the two expressions are only equal if the exponents are also equal.
