eliminating logarithm from one side

Hi

Would really appreciate some help on this. How do you take exponents to remove log from the left and then make the 0 turn into a 1?

Thanks.
number in front of log is 1, 1 to the power of 0 is one thus log removed.
For the first part you just use the power rule for logs remember:

alog(x)=log(x)a\displaystyle alog(x)=log(x)^a .

For the second bit they use multiplication law:
log(x)+log(y)=log(xy)\displaystyle log(x)+log(y)=log(xy) .

For the last bit they have just took the exponential of both sides, remember

elog(x)=x\displaystyle e^{log(x)}=x and e0=1e^0=1.
