Logb (x)=y is called the logarithmic form
where logb means log with base b So to put this in exponential form we let b be the base and y the exponent by=x
Here is an example log2 8=3 since 23 =8. In this case the term on the left is the logarithmic form while the one of the right is the exponential form.

No. The inverse of an exponential function is a logarithmic function.
Since the logarithmic function is the inverse of the exponential function, then we can say that f(x) = 103x and g(x) = log 3x or f-1(x) = log 3x. As we say that the logarithmic function is the reflection of the graph of the exponential function about the line y = x, we can also say that the exponential function is the reflection of the graph of the logarithmic function about the line y = x. The equations y = log(3x) or y = log10(3x) and 10y = 3x are different ways of expressing the same thing. The first equation is in the logarithmic form and the second equivalent equation is in exponential form. Notice that a logarithm, y, is an exponent. So that the question becomes, "changing from logarithmic to exponential form": y = log(3x) means 10y = 3x, where x = (10y)/3.
Here's logarithmic form: 1 log ^ 10 Now here's the same thing in exponential form: 10^1 So basically it's just two different ways of writing the same thing. Remember that log is always base "10" unless otherwise specified
