Question

What is 144^1/2=12 written in logarithmic form

Answer 1

`\log_(144)(12)=(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

First step identify the base. The base is 144.

The exponent is the logarithm.

The number not mentioned is the one that goes inside.

In other words
`a^x=b` is equivalent to
`log_a(b)=x`

There are some restrictions on what a and b can be.

You read
`log_a(b)=x` as log base a of b equals x

x is the exponent

a is the base

So we have log base 144 of 12 equals 1/2

`\log_(144)(12)=(1)/(2)`
