Answer

1) The exponential form: $5^{1}=5$ The logarithmic form: $\log_{5}5=1$. 2) The exponential form: $4^{-2}=\frac{1}{16}$ The logarithmic form: $\log_{4}\frac{1}{16}=-2$. 3) The exponential form: $4^{2}=16$ The logarithmic form: $\log_{4}16=2$. 4) The exponential form: $10^{4}=10,000$ The logarithmic form: $\log_{10}10,000=4$. 5) The exponential form: $3^{3}=27$ The logarithmic form: $\log_{3}27=3$. 6) The exponential form: $7^{0}=1$ The logarithmic form: $\log_{7}0=1$

Work Step by Step

The definition of the logarithm function can be translated into mathematical formulas such as the following. The given expressions are equivalent. The exponential form: $b^{x}=a$ The logarithmic form: $\log_{b}a=x$. Here, we have to translate the given expressions to the exponential form: 1) The exponential form: $5^{1}=5$ The logarithmic form: $\log_{5}5=1$. 2) The exponential form: $4^{-2}=\frac{1}{16}$ The logarithmic form: $\log_{4}\frac{1}{16}=-2$. 3) The exponential form: $4^{2}=16$ The logarithmic form: $\log_{4}16=2$. 4) The exponential form: $10^{4}=10,000$ The logarithmic form: $\log_{10}10,000=4$. 5) The exponential form: $3^{3}=27$ The logarithmic form: $\log_{3}27=3$. 6) The exponential form: $7^{0}=1$ The logarithmic form: $\log_{7}0=1$
