Unknown Indices We have met the graph of y a x and seen that it represents growth or decay. Because of important practical applications of growth and decay, we need to be able to solve equations of the type x a b where a and b are constants. Equations with unknown indices are solved using logarithms. We will see what a logarithm is and develop some rules that help us to solve equations. e.g. How would you solve 10x
