You can take the logarithm on both sides of an equation. The real trick is to figure out when this will help you to solve the equation, and when not.

A logarithmic equation would be any equation that includes the log function.
10a = 478
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
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.
