You can define any base you like and calculate an appropriate exponent or, you can pick an exponent and calculate the base.

So you can have

base 25, with exponent 2

or base 5 and exonent 4

or base e (the base for natural logarithms) and exponent 6.437752 (to 6 dp)

or base 10 and exponent 2.795880 (to 6 dp)

or base 2 and exponent 9.287712

etc

or base 8.54988 (to 3 dp) and exponent 3

or base 3.623898 (to 3 dp) and exponent 5

etc

There is no need for the base to be an integer or even rational. Probably the most important bases in advanced mathematics is e, which is a transcendental number. Similarly, there is no need for the exponent to be an integer.

What is the value of the expression log5 625?

The expression ( \log_5 625 ) represents the exponent to which the base 5 must be raised to obtain 625. Since ( 625 = 5^4 ), it follows that ( \log_5 625 = 4 ). Thus, the value of the expression is 4.

How do you find the base and exponent of a number?

in a problem like n4=625 you need to do a mult-step equations In the example, 4log n = log 625 log n = (log 625)/4 n = 10^[(log 625)/4] = 5 Although this particular answer is obvious, you could also solve n5=625, or any other power of n, which isn't, using this method. hope that it is helpful to you!
