b {}^(x) = n \\ taking \: log \: on \: both \: the \: sides \: \\ log(b {}^(x) ) = log(n) \\ x( log(b) ) = log(n) \\ x = ( log(n) )/( log(b) ) \\ x = log_(b)(n)

Answer: The required logarithmic form of the given equation is
x=\log_bN.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to express the following equation in logarithmic form :


b^x=N~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We know that

The logarithmic form of an exponential equation
a^C=b is given by


C=\log_ab.

So, from equation (i), we get


b^x=N\\\\\Rightarrow x=\log_bN.

Thus, the required logarithmic form of the given equation is
x=\log_bN.
