If I have the equation 10=Log to the base of 10 of X, how do I find X?

>Hey guys I want to know how to solve this logarithm equation

you're cool

[math] 10 = log_{10} ( X ) [/math]
becomes
[math] 10^X = 10 [/math]

Thanks, anon. How is your Algebra II class going?

School is hard, isnt it? xD

>>8290212
getting there slowly but surely :)
>>8290213
it can be at times :(

Well, don't worry. Summer is just another ten months away!

You exponentiate using the base. This works because the function "log_a" is the inverse of the function "a^()"

actually [math] X = 10^{10}[/math]

Thanks

No problem. It's also helpful to know this identity:
[math]\displaystyle log_a(x)=\frac{ln(x)}{ln(a)}[/math]
where "ln" is the natural log, or "log base e"
