Question
a. Use the definition of logarithm to show that \(\log _{b} b^{x}=x\) for all real numbers x.
b. Use the definition of logarithm to show that \(b^{\log _{b} x}=x\) for all positive real numbers x.
c. By the result of exercise 25 in Section 7.3, if \(f: X \rightarrow Y\) and \(g: Y \rightarrow X\) are functions and \(g \circ f=I_{X}\) and \(f \circ g=\) \(I_{Y}\), then f and g are inverse functions. Use this result to show that \(\log _{b}\) and \(\exp _{b}\) (the exponential function with base b ) are inverse functions.

Solution
The first step in solving 11.4 problem number 10 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: a. Use the definition of logarithm to show that \(\log _{b} b^{x}=x\) for all real numbers x.b. Use the definition of logarithm to show that \(b^{\log _{b} x}=x\) for all positive real numbers x.c. By the result of exercise 25 in Section 7.3, if \(f: X \rightarrow Y\) and \(g: Y \rightarrow X\) are functions and \(g \circ f=I_{X}\) and \(f \circ g=\) \(I_{Y}\), then f and g are inverse functions. Use this result to show that \(\log _{b}\) and \(\exp _{b}\) (the exponential function with base b ) are inverse functions.Text Transcription:log _b b^x=xb^log _b x=xf: X \rightarrow Yg: Y \rightarrow Xg \circ f=I_Xf \circ g=I_Ylog _bexp _b
