The pattern in converting logarithmic form to exponential form and vice versa is this:
[tex]y=b^x\leftrightarrow\log _by=x[/tex]
For the first exponential equation that is 16 = 8^4/3, our y = 16, b = 8, and x = 4/3. Let's plug this in the logarithmic pattern.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \log _by=x \\ \log _816=\frac{4}{3} \end{gathered}[/tex]
The logarithmic form of the first equation is log₈ 16 = 4/3.
Now, let's move to the second one.
[tex]\log _5(15,625)=6[/tex]
b = 5, y = 15, 625, and x = 6. Let's plug these in to the exponential pattern.
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=b^x \\ 15,625=5^6 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence, the exponential form of the second equation is 15, 625 = 5⁶.
