Common logarithms: does log_25(x) = 1/2 mean (10^25)/(1/2)?

[charlesjoy]

good morning. In the equation: log x=1/2 Is this telling me that it is 10 to the 25th power divided by 1/2?
25

Re: Common logarithms

$\displaystyle log(x)=\frac{1}{2}$

25?. To find x, just use $\displaystyle 10^{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt{10}=3.1623$

25

Is it

$\displaystyle LOG_{25}(x) \, = \, \frac{1}{2}$

if it is then

$\displaystyle x \, = \, 25^{\frac{1}{2}}$
