s

.

\newline

6^s = 36

\newline

s =

____

Identify base and number: Identify the base and the number $6^s$ needs to equal. $\newline$ $6$ is the base, and it needs to be raised to a power $s$ such that $6^s = 36$ .
Express $36$ as power of $6$ : Recognize that $36$ can be expressed as a power of $6$ . $36$ is the same as $6^2$ .
Set exponents equal: Set the exponents equal to each other since the bases are the same. $\newline$ Since $6^s = 6^2$ , then $s$ must equal $2$ .
