Given:
The logarithmic equation is:
[tex]\log 970=x[/tex]
To find:
The exponential equations that is equivalent to the given logarithmic equation.
Solution:
Property of logarithm:
If [tex]\log_b a=x[/tex], then [tex]a=b^x[/tex]
We know that the base log is always 10 if it is not mentioned.
If [tex]\log a=x[/tex], then [tex]a=10^x[/tex]
We have,
[tex]\log 970=x[/tex]
Here, base is 10 and the value of a is 970. By using the properties of exponents, we get
[tex]970=10^x[/tex]
Interchange the sides, we get
[tex]10^x=970[/tex]
Therefore, the correct option is B, i.e., [tex]10^x=970[/tex].
Note: It should be "=" instead of "-" in option B.
