Solve Logarithmic Equation for y

Question

Pareto's law for capitalist countries states that the relationship between annual income x and the number y of individuals whose income exceeds x is

log y = log b − k log x,

where b and k are positive constants. Solve this equation for y.

Answer 1

logy = logb - klogx = logb - log(x^k) = log(b / x^k)

So, y = b/x^k
