To Prove that:-
e^(log x) = x
Taking log on both sides,
log x*log e = log x
(As log e =1)
Implies,log x = log x
LHS = RHS
Hence,proved.
Let's try to solve this for negative values of x,
e^log(-x) = (-x)
Taking log on both sides,
log(-x)=log(-x)
Taking antilog on both sides,
-x = -x
LHS=RHS
Hence,proved
Lets prove this for x=0,
e^(log0)=0
Taking log on both the sides,
log 0 = log 0
Antilog, 0=0
LHS = RHS
Hence,proved.
The range of e^(logx) or (log x) doesn't matter because we are just expressing a^x = e^x ln a,whenever we take antilog on both the sides,the expression is satisfied.Hence x may be >=< 0.
