No if we had f(x))=x2 then f-1(x)=\sqrt(x)

Log is totally different.

I am surprised it is in igcse
Does your calculator has a solve or calc button?

Log is like asking if 5=10x what is x? It is log105/log1010 or ln5/ln10

You need logs when you are dealing with exponential rates of growth or decay- when something is doubling or halving every hour for example. N=50*10t and you need to find t for certain N

thats not a log question

for e.g 2=5^x then u can use log

x = log2/log5
What can I do, to make it right
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?


zzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz

I'll be strong.. I'll be wrong.. all the love goes on.. Oh im just a girl tryna find a place in this worLD..  Taylor swift <3

but the second one is....

log log(512)^-2/3 / log 2
