35^(log_35x)=x.

Explanation:

By the Defn. of log fun., we can immediately answer that,

35^(log_(35)x)=x.

To see, how this is so, let us recall the Defn. of log fun. :

log_bx=m iff b^m=x

Now, let us subst. the value of m from the L.H.S of "iff" to the

R.H.S., to get, the Desired Result : b^(log_bx)=x

Alternatively,

Suppose that, 35^(log_(35)x)=y.

Taking log_35 of both the sides, we have,

log_35 (35^m)=log_35 y, ..........(1), where, m=log_35x.

But, log_35(35^m)=mlog_35 35=m*1=m.

Therefore, by (1), we get,

m=log_35y, i.e., log_35x=log_35y.

As, log fun. is 1-1, we have, x=y, i.e., 35^(log_35x)=x.
