In the exponential function a^x=b (a to the power x equals b), can I reduce this to x=? (what would x equal)?

Re: Exponential Function Question
Hi;
Take the ln of both sides.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
