The power operation, for example:
x = 210 (answer: x = 1024)
has two inverse operations, depending which of the two numbers you have to solve for. To solve for the base if you know the exponent is called calculating the root. For example:
x10 = 1024
This is asking for the tenth root of 1024.
The other inverse is if the exponent is unknown, for example:
2x = 1024
Solving this problem is called calculating the logarithm.
