#x=log_6y#

Since

#x=log_ba iff a=b^x#

you have:

#y=6^x iff x=log_6y#

#y= (ln x)/(ln 6)#

Replace x with y and y with x,

# x= 6^y# and solve for y now

ln x= yln 6

#y= (ln x)/(ln 6)#

See below.

If #g(x)# is the inverse for #f(x)# then

#g(f(x))=x# then

#g(6^x)=x rArrg(x) = log_ex/log_e 6 = f^-1(x)#.
