Answers may vary. One possibility: Tell the student to do the following to prove it him/herself:
| 1) Take a logarithmic expression. | 1) logbx = a |
| 2) Convert it to exponential form. | 2) ba = x |
| 3) Raise that expression to a power. | 3) (ba) r = xr |
| 4) Use the power rule for exponents. | 4) bar = xr |
| 5) Convert back to logarithmic form. | 5) logbxr = ar |
| 6) Use the commutative property for multiplication | 6)logbxr = ra |
| 7) Substitute the original logarithmic expression. | 7) logbxr = r logbx |

Solve the problem.The following table shows the number of fires in a county for the years 1994-1998, where 1 represents 1994, 2 represents 1995, and so on.
This data can be approximated using the third-degree polynomial T(x) = -0.57x3 + 0.51x2 + 62.06x + 3390.Use this function to predict the number of fires in 2005. Round to the nearest whole number.
