if 104=10,000, which is equal to 4?; which equation is equivalent to a5=21?

Sagot :

If   [tex]10^{4}[/tex]= 10,000,  then the value of 4 = [tex]log_{10}[/tex] 10000. and the equation equivalent to [tex]a^{5}[/tex] = 21 is 5 = [tex]log_{a}[/tex] 21.

The logarithm is the exponent or power to which a base must be raised to yield a given number. Expressed mathematically, x is the logarithm of n to the base b if [tex]b^{x}[/tex] = n, which can be written as x = [tex]log_{b}[/tex] n.

For example, [tex]2^4[/tex] = 16; therefore, 4 is the logarithm of 8 to base 2, or 4 = [tex]log_{2}[/tex] 8.

a. Here, 4 is the power of the 10, and we will express it in the log form. 4, is the logarithm of 10000 to base 10 or mathematically we can express it as -

4 = [tex]log_{10}[/tex] 10000.

b. Similarly, we have to find the equation equivalent to  [tex]a^{5}[/tex] = 21

using the log form, we get that 5 is the logarithm of 21 to base a.

Mathematically we can express it as -

5 = [tex]log_{a}[/tex] 21.
