What does the symbol   ⟺  \iff represent in the equivalence ax=b  ⟺  x=log⁡a(b)a^x = b \iff x = \log_a(b)?

The two forms are completely equivalent

What are the restrictions on aa and bb in the equation ax=b  ⟺  x=log⁡a(b)a^x = b \iff x = \log_a(b)?

a>0a > 0, a≠1a \neq 1, and b>0b > 0

Which logarithm should be used to solve ex=10e^x = 10 for xx?

Natural logarithm (ln)

Which logarithm should be used to solve 10x=3010^x = 30 for xx?

Common logarithm (log⁡10\log_{10})

Convert 5x=85^x = 8 to logarithmic form.

x=log⁡5(8)x = \log_5(8)

What is the change of base formula for log⁡a(x)\log_a(x)?

log⁡b(x)log⁡b(a)\frac{\log_b(x)}{\log_b(a)}

Why is the change of base formula essential for calculations?

Calculators only have log⁡10\log_{10} & ln buttons

What memory aid helps remember the change of base formula?

New base on bottom

When should exponential-logarithmic equivalence be used?
