How do you evaluate #g(x)=log_bx# for #x=b^-3#? Precalculus Properties of Logarithmic Functions Logarithm-- Inverse of an Exponential Function 1 Answer Azimet Jan 18, 2017 #g(b^-3) = -3# Explanation: In general, #log_a a^n = n#, because #log_a b# is the power #a# must be raised to, to get #b#. So, in our case, #-3# is the power #b# needs to be raised, in order to get #b^-3#. #log_b b^-3 = -3#. Answer link Related questions What is a logarithm?
