Write the log equation as an exponential equation. You do not need to solve for x. log(x^2-3x-8)=3

To convert the logarithmic equation into an exponential equation, we need to understand the relationship between logarithms and exponents. The equation is equivalent to . In this case, the base of the logarithm is 10 (since it's a common logarithm), the argument is , and the result is 3.So, the exponential form of the given logarithmic equation is: This is the exponential equation equivalent to the given logarithmic equation.
