What is the  relationship between Indices and Logarithm?

You may not know this but there is a great relationship between Indices and Logarithm. They are very much related, only that they are presented in different ways.

Indices format: a^x = y

Logarithm format: log_aY = x

Now it is up to you to decide which one to use, but generally, if every thing is given and the power of a number / expression has to be determined, select the “Logarithm” format. Power (x) = log_aY ==> directly obtaining the power x.

Indices format is very suitable  if the base “a” and the power “x” is known.
