Exponential Function Question

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.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
