loga x = n
How to solve the logarithmic equation log a x = n?
loga x is logarithm of x to base a
n is the exponent to which you need to raise base a to get x.
log a x = n ⇔ an = x ⇒ x = an
Examples:
log 3 x = 1 ⇔ 31 = x ⇒ x = 31= 3
log 3 x = 3 ⇔ 33 = x ⇒ x = 33= 27
log 5 x = 4 ⇔ 54 = x ⇒ x = 54= 625
