    1. bustersmycat Says:

      exponent. 10^0.5=a/b

    2. greenwhite Says:

      log (base x) y = z
      x to the power of z = y

      Assuming that is base 10,

      10^0.5 = a/b

      yeah, like the person above said

    4. j_r_colbert Says:

      log (a/b)=.5

      Unless a base is given, 10 is assumed

      10^.5=a/b

      Is there more info?

      Are you solving for a or b?

    5. Peacock11 Says:

      exponentiate each side by 10
      it would look like:
      10^.5 = 10^log (a/b)
      10^.5 = a/b

    6. James Says:

      log(a/b)=0.5
      a/b=1^0.5
      a/b=1^1/2
      a/b=root(1)
      i.e a/b=1

      What is the difficulty ? It is same as saying
      10^(0.5) = a/b
      I think it is better you reverse the order of your expression as log(a/b) = 0.5 .
      Log itself means base10 ( I don’t know how to subscript here 10 between ‘log’ and ‘(a/b)’.
