To convert a logarithmic equation to its exponential form, we use the definition of a logarithm: if \(\log_b(a) = c\), then the equivalent exponential form is \(b^c = a\). Applying this to the given equation \(\log_p(625) = 4\), we can rewrite it in exponential form as \(p^4 = 625\).
Step 1: Convert Logarithmic Equation to Exponential Form
The given logarithmic equation is
\[
\log_{p}(625) = 4.
\]
Using the definition of logarithms, we can convert this to its exponential form:
\[
p^4 = 625.
\]
Step 2: Solve for \( p \)
To find \( p \), we need to isolate it. We can do this by taking the fourth root of both sides:
\[
p = 625^{\frac{1}{4}}.
\]
Step 3: Simplify the Expression
Next, we simplify \( 625^{\frac{1}{4}} \). Since \( 625 = 5^4 \), we have:
