Express 3^2 = x as a logarithmic equation.
\(\hbox{if } a^b=c \hbox{ then} \log_a c=b \\ \\ 3^2=x \\ \Downarrow \\ \log_3 x=2\)
Answer:
\(\log_3x=2\)
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is
\(3^2=x\)
We need to express this equation as a logarithmic equation.
Taking log base 3 on both sides.
\(\log_33^2=\log_3x\)
Using the property of logarithm, we get
\(2=\log_3x\) \([\because \log_aa^b=b]\)
Interchange the sides.
\(\log_3x=2\)
Hence, the required equation is \(\log_3x=2\).
