Question

Which is NOT the same as asking:
What is the logarithm of 1,296 if the base is 6?

Answer 1

In the equation q^6=1296, what is q

Explanation:

If we rewrite the log of 1296 with a base 6 in the exponential form, we get

`6^x=1296`

When we rewrite q^6 = 1296 in the logarithm form, we get log of 1296 with a base of q. Because the base is no longer 6, this is the wrong answer.
