Write the log equation as an exponential equation. You do not need to solve for x. log(x^2+4x+17)=2

The given equation is in logarithmic form: . To convert this to exponential form, we use the definition of a logarithm: if , then . In this case, the base of the logarithm is 10 (since no base is specified, it is assumed to be 10), the argument of the logarithm is , and the value of the logarithm is 2. Therefore, the exponential form of the equation is .
