Work Step by Step
See page 456.
The equations
$ y=\log_{b}x\quad$ and $\quad b^{y}=x$
(the first is in logarithmic, the second in exponential form)
are equivalent, according to the definition of the logarithmic function.
The relationship:
The two forms are different ways to express the same thing.
In logarithmic form, y is a logarithm, while
in the exponential form, y is an exponent, with same base.
